Nitrogen cycling in the South Atlantic and South Indian Oceans investigated using nitrate isotopes: implications for nutrient supply, ocean fertility, carbon export, and climate by Marshall, Tanya

“…A novel application of the dual isotopes of nitrate reveals the occurrence of three (sub)mesoscale mechanisms of upward nitrate supply; entrainment at the edges of a mesoscale anticyclonic eddy, inshore upwelling likely driven by a frontal eddy, and overturning at the offshore edge of the current core likely driven by coupled mesoscalesubmesoscale instabilities. The intensity and (sub)surface expression of these nutrient supply events are not always apparent in the hydrographic data, highlighting the utility of the nitrate isotopes for exploring physical ocean processes. …”

Multi-dimensional simulations of bow shocks of massive, high-velocity runaway stars by Ramalatswa, Katlego Jafta

“…Furthermore, we discuss results from comparing 2D and 3D models to determine the effect of dimensionality on the growth of these instabilities and the carbuncle phenomenon. …”

Non-isothermal dynamics of thin-film free-surface and channel flows of non-Newtonian nanofluids by Khan, Idrees

“…To incorporate the nanoparticles in the governing equations we use a single phase nanofluid modelling approach. Our mathematical models are governed by a system of non-linear, highly coupled, time-dependent Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). …”
