Research

My overall interests are in the ocean large-scale and mesoscale dynamics and their role in climate, using numerical simulations and a variety of advanced analytical methods. I have experience using numerical simulations for studies from dynamics and eddy-induced mixing to regional sea-level variations.

Generalized eddy-induced advection

The eddy-induced advection plays an important role in the generation of filaments and fronts and the enhancement of material dispersion and mixing.

• Eddy-induced material dispersion is effectively represented by the generalized advection (Lu et al., 2022):

• Mesoscale eddies sharpen the large-scale front by advecting (squeezing) tracer contours towards each other (Lu and Kamenkovich, 2025):
