Quasi-geostrophic jet-like flow with obstructions
2021
International audience; Jet-like flows are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and oceans, and thus a thorough investigation of their behaviour in rotating systems is fundamental. Nevertheless, how they are affected by vegetation or, generally speaking, by obstructions is a crucial aspect which has been poorly investigated up to now. The aim of the present paper is to propose an analytical model developed for jet-like flows in the presence of both obstructions and the Coriolis force. In this investigation the jet-like flow is assumed homogeneous, turbulent and quasi-geostrophic, and with the same density as the surrounding fluid. Laws of momentum deficit, length scales, velocity scales and jet cen…
Stability of the equilibrium state of the equation system of a viscous barotropic gas in the model of atmosphere
2006
We consider the system of equations of viscous gas motion whose pressure is related to the density by the law $p = h \varrho^\gamma$ with 1<γ <2, in a domain defined by two levels of geopotential. Under the force due to geopotential and the Coriolis force, we prove the stability of the equilibrium state in a suitable Sobolev space.

Experiments on jets released in rotating vegetated flows
2020
The mixing and spreading of rivers and wastewater flowing into lakes and coastal waters have a great impact in presence of vegetation canopies and mussel coltivation farms.
