Explore the complex dynamics of ocean fluid flow in this seminar by Jim Thomas from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Delve into the interactions between fast-evolving waves and slowly-evolving vortices across various spatio-temporal scales in the ocean. Gain insights into the challenges of understanding these inherently turbulent and strongly nonlinear processes. Discover new and efficient reduced mathematical models developed to address various physical processes in ocean dynamics. Examine both weakly nonlinear wave interactions and strongly nonlinear turbulent exchanges through reduced mathematical models and high-resolution numerical simulations. Build a phenomenological understanding of different physical processes involved in wave-vortex interactions in the ocean.
