1999 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Mechanics
  • Fluid dynamics

His primary areas of study are Turbulence, Mechanics, Meteorology, Climatology and Surface. His Turbulence study combines topics in areas such as Closure, Atmospheric sciences and Classical mechanics. His Mechanics research includes themes of Surface wave, Mixed layer, Wind wave and Differential equation.

His study on Climatology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Princeton Ocean Model which intersects with area such as Ocean circulation model,
  • Oceanography that intertwine with fields like Structural basin and Surface runoff. His Planetary boundary layer study frequently links to related topics such as Stratified flow. In his study, Geophysics is strongly linked to Computational fluid dynamics, which falls under the umbrella field of Stratified flow.

His most cited work include:

  • Development of a turbulence closure model for geophysical fluid problems (5374 citations)
  • A Description of a Three‐Dimensional Coastal Ocean Circulation Model (2783 citations)
  • A Hierarchy of Turbulence Closure Models for Planetary Boundary Layers. (2037 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Mechanics, Turbulence, Meteorology, Boundary layer and Climatology. His work is dedicated to discovering how Mechanics, Gas compressor are connected with Aerodynamics and other disciplines. George L. Mellor works mostly in the field of Turbulence, limiting it down to topics relating to Classical mechanics and, in certain cases, Radiation stress and Surface wave, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Meteorology research incorporates themes from Surface, Ocean current and Coordinate system. His Boundary layer research integrates issues from Mean curvature flow and Geometry, Curvature. George L. Mellor usually deals with Climatology and limits it to topics linked to Oceanography and Geomorphology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (31.88%)
  • Turbulence (28.99%)
  • Meteorology (21.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2021)?

  • Mechanics (31.88%)
  • Meteorology (21.01%)
  • Turbulence (28.99%)

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

George L. Mellor mostly deals with Mechanics, Meteorology, Turbulence, Radiation stress and Surface wave. George L. Mellor combines subjects such as Ocean current and Geophysics with his study of Mechanics. His studies in Geophysics integrate themes in fields like Phase averaging, K-epsilon turbulence model and Homogeneity.

His research in the fields of Mixed layer overlaps with other disciplines such as Surface layer. His Turbulence study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Drag coefficient, Heat transfer and Boundary layer. His Classical mechanics study which covers Wave equation that intersects with K-omega turbulence model and Euler equations.

Between 2000 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Description of a Three‐Dimensional Coastal Ocean Circulation Model (2783 citations)
  • The Three-Dimensional Current and Surface Wave Equations (249 citations)
  • Wave Breaking and Ocean Surface Layer Thermal Response (181 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Fluid dynamics
  • Mechanics

George L. Mellor spends much of his time researching Meteorology, Boundary layer, Turbulence, Mechanics and Surface wave. The Meteorology study combines topics in areas such as Mooring, Sea state and Atmospheric sciences. The study incorporates disciplines such as Grid, Geometry and Coordinate system in addition to Boundary layer.

His Turbulence study typically links adjacent topics like Wind wave. In his papers, George L. Mellor integrates diverse fields, such as Mechanics and Surface layer. His studies deal with areas such as Radiation stress and Classical mechanics as well as Surface wave.
