Turbulent ‘stopping plumes’ and plume pinch-off in uniform surroundings (2014)
Journal Article
Kattimeri, A., & Scase, M. M. (2014). Turbulent ‘stopping plumes’ and plume pinch-off in uniform surroundings. Environmental Fluid Mechanics, 15(5), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10652-014-9387-7

Observations of turbulent convection in the environment are of variously sus- tained plume-like flows or intermittent thermal-like flows. At different times of the day the prevailing conditions may change and consequently the observed flow regimes ma...

Wave breaking in dense plumes (2014)
Journal Article
Holland, P. R., Hewitt, R. E., & Scase, M. M. (2014). Wave breaking in dense plumes. Journal of Physical Oceanography, 44(2), 790-800. doi:10.1175/jpo-d-13-0110.1

Sinking dense plumes are important in many oceanographic settings, notably the polar formation of deep and bottom waters. The dense water sources feeding such plumes are commonly affected by tidal modulation, leading to plume variability on short tim... Read More about Wave breaking in dense plumes.
