A continuous/discontinuous Galerkin formulation for a strain gradient-dependent damage model: 2D results [PDF]
, 2011 The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been hindered by continuity demands on the basis functions. The presence of terms in constitutive models which involve gradients of the strain eld means that the $C^0$ continuity

Global patterns of diapycnal mixing from measurements of the turbulent dissipation rate [PDF]
, 2014 The authors present inferences of diapycnal diffusivity from a compilation of over 5200 microstructure profiles. As microstructure observations are sparse, these are supplemented with indirect measurements of mixing obtained from (i) Thorpe-scale ...
