IAS/ School of Science Joint Lecture - Drag on a Penetrable Disk in a Superfluid
Abstract
The motion of a body through a superfluid can generate phenomena distinct from a normal viscous fluid. This includes the absence of drag below a critical body speed with the shedding of quantized vortices and non-zero drag above this speed. In this talk, the speaker will investigate…

To close the abyssal overturning circulation, dense bottom waters that form around Antarctica have to become lighter by mixing with lighter water above.
