  • Nutrient transport and acquisition by diatom chains in a moving fluid

    Publication

    - JOURNAL OF FLUID MECHANICS - Year 2009

    The role of fluid motion in delivery of nutrients to phytoplankton cells is a fundamental question in biological and chemical oceanography. In the study of mass transfer to phytoplankton, diatoms are of particular interest. They are non-motile, are often the most abundant components in aggregates and often form chains, so they are the ones expected to benefit most from enhancement of nutrient flux due to dissipating turbulence....
