A new expression for the form stress term in the vertically Lagrangian mean framework for the effect of surface waves on the upper ocean circulation [PDF]
There is an ongoing discussion in the community concerning the wave-averaged momentum equations in the hybrid vertically Lagrangian and horizontally Eulerian (VL) framework and, in particular, the form stress term (representing the residual effect of ...

Suspended-sediment induced stratification inferred from concentration and velocity profile measurements in the lower Yellow River, China [PDF]
Despite a multitude of models predicting sediment transport dynamics in open‐channel flow, self‐organized vertical density stratification that dampens flow turbulence due to the interaction between fluid and sediment, has not been robustly validated with

Computing the topology of a plane or space hyperelliptic curve [PDF]
International audienceWe present algorithms to compute the topology of 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves. The algorithms are based on the fact that 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves can be seen as the image of a planar curve (the Weierstrass form of the curve),
