A halocline is a transition zone between water layers of differing salinities that can function as an impenetrable physical barrier to aquatic organisms. This barrier effect is driven by stratification drag, a physical resistance created when an organism's swimming motion displaces denser water into lighter layers.

Fluid Flows Break Up Microswimmer Clumps

The field of active matter looks at the collective motion of particles and organisms–how birds flock and fish school. In systems of “dry” squirmers–those that have no hydrodynamic interactions with one another–clumps of squirmers can form with empty spaces in between them. This is known as motility-induced phase separation, or MIPS. Researchers wondered whether microswimmers in a fluid–which do produce hydrodynamic forces that can affect one another–would also show MIPS.

In a new study, researchers show, instead, that hydrodynamic interactions between swimmers will prevent (or destroy) these clumps. Through a combination of theoretical work and simulation, the authors found that translational flows between swimmers swept the swimmers out of clumps as they formed. Rotational flows between swimmers made them able to change direction faster, which also kept stable clumps from forming. (Image and research credit: T. Zhou and J. Brady; via APS)

How do fluids really slip on surfaces?

This study proposes a method to estimate slip length and reconstruct flow fields from limited data.

A key step to better understand flows where friction at the wall nearly vanishes.

Kolk (vortex) (Oceanography 🌊)

A kolk is an underwater vortex causing hydrodynamic scour by rapidly rushing water past an underwater obstacle. High-velocity gradients produce a high-shear rotating column of water, similar to a tornado. Kolks can pluck multiple-ton blocks of rock and transport them in suspension for kilometres. Kolks leave clear evidence in the form of kolk lakes, a kind...

Mesmerising wave patterns blown by the Bora (a strong wind blowing from the mountains down to the sea) on the coast in front of Miramare near #Trieste. So cool! #science #physics #hydrodynamics

@logicable The question is so ill defined that the answer is obviously 'yes'. :-)
Rivers aren't straight and so flow in a continuum of differing directions simultaneously.
Even a totally straight river/canal can be flowing normally out to sea when a sudden high tide or wave causes one end of it to flow briefly 'the wrong way'.
What is the question intended to mean?

Vortex Trapping Of Suspended Sand Grains Over Ripples

“KEY POINTS
• Observations of vortex-trapped grains suggest delayed settling of advected grains, as well as delayed advection of grains mobilized from the bed
• Quantitative comparisons of vortex-trapped sand grains compared well with theoretical formulations by Nielsen (1992, https://doi.org/10.1142/1269) for a forced vortex
• Improved understanding of vortex trapping effects on sediment dynamics may decrease uncertainty in large-scale coastal model predictions..."

After admitting defeat, we send it to Phys Rev Fluids and I'm super happy that Prof. Howard Stone accepted it right away without sending it to further reviewers.

In the paper we discuss the dewetting instability of a thin liquid film on a switchable substrate. We actually found a cool metastable rivulet state.
