Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanics

Chris Garrett spends much of his time researching Mechanics, Internal wave, Meteorology, Oceanography and Optics. His work in Mechanics tackles topics such as Surface tension which are related to areas like Surf zone and Buoyancy. His Internal tide study in the realm of Internal wave connects with subjects such as Energy flux.

His study focuses on the intersection of Meteorology and fields such as Dissipation with connections in the field of Richardson number, Instability, Stratification and Wavelength. His Oceanography study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Tidal power. His work on Wavenumber is typically connected to Spectral line and Space time as part of general Optics study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Space-Time Scales of Internal Waves' A Progress Report (712 citations)
  • Space-Time scales of internal waves (628 citations)
  • Wavetrains in Inhomogeneous Moving Media (527 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mechanics, Oceanography, Internal wave, Meteorology and Buoyancy. His research integrates issues of Dissipation, Classical mechanics and Advection in his study of Mechanics. He studied Oceanography and Tidal power that intersect with Maximum power principle and Communication channel.

The Internal wave study combines topics in areas such as Geophysics and Wavenumber. His study in Buoyancy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stratification, Mixed layer and Heat flux. His Optics study combines topics in areas such as Computational physics and Wind wave.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (28.47%)
  • Oceanography (27.01%)
  • Internal wave (16.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?

  • Oceanography (27.01%)
  • Mechanics (28.47%)
  • Tidal power (8.76%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Mechanics, Tidal power, Turbulence and Internal wave. His work focuses on many connections between Oceanography and other disciplines, such as Structural basin, that overlap with his field of interest in Tidal forcing, Bay and Ridge. His Mechanics research includes themes of Classical mechanics and Advection.

His studies in Tidal power integrate themes in fields like Renewable energy, Communication channel, Lead and Maximum power principle. His work deals with themes such as Froude number and Supercritical flow, which intersect with Turbulence. His Internal wave research focuses on Barotropic fluid and how it relates to Baroclinity, Body force and Buoyancy.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Internal Tide Generation in the Deep Ocean (429 citations)
  • The efficiency of a turbine in a tidal channel (254 citations)
  • The power potential of tidal currents in channels (238 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Oceanography
  • Thermodynamics
  • Geometry

His main research concerns Tidal power, Oceanography, Communication channel, Tidal farm and Mechanics. The various areas that he examines in his Tidal power study include Drag, Flow, Renewable energy and Maximum power principle. His study in Internal wave and Deep sea falls within the category of Oceanography.

Chris Garrett works mostly in the field of Internal wave, limiting it down to topics relating to Mid-ocean ridge and, in certain cases, Meteorology. His Meteorology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Momentum transfer and Computational physics. In his study, Geophysics and Internal tide is inextricably linked to Barotropic fluid, which falls within the broad field of Deep sea.
