Dinàmica No Lineal en Fluids

Els fluxos de fluids es produeixen en un gran rang d’escales, des dels capil·lars sanguinis a les borrasques de l'atmosfera. La forma en què les substàncies són transportades té un gran impacte, per exemple, en com els contaminants arriben a llocs distants, com el plàncton troba els seus nutrients, o en el balanç tèrmic que determina el clima de la Terra.

A l’IFISC desenvolupem tècniques útils per caracteritzar el transport en fluids i quantificar la deformació, la barreja i la connectivitat entre les seves parts. Les apliquem a contextos  geofísics, especialment a l’oceà. Desenvolupem eines per identificar les barreres al transport d'oxigen i nutrients, avaluem les implicacions ecològiques del transport de larves o rastregem l'origen de les masses atmosfèriques de vapor d’aigua transportades pels vents.
