Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Mechanics
  • Fluid dynamics

His primary scientific interests are in Turbulence, Mechanics, Boundary layer, Meteorology and Stratification. Many of his research projects under Turbulence are closely connected to Acoustic Doppler velocimetry with Acoustic Doppler velocimetry, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. John H. Trowbridge interconnects Flow, Acoustics, Computational physics, Flow velocity and Covariance in the investigation of issues within Reynolds stress.

His work on Planetary boundary layer as part of general Boundary layer study is frequently linked to Initial value problem, bridging the gap between disciplines. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Wind stress and Breaking wave. The concepts of his Stratification study are interwoven with issues in Upwelling, Ekman transport and Buoyancy.

His most cited work include:

  • Evaluation of the Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) for Turbulence Measurements (420 citations)
  • Fluid-mud processes on the Amazon continental shelf (272 citations)
  • The Dynamics of a Partially Mixed Estuary (230 citations)

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

John H. Trowbridge spends much of his time researching Turbulence, Mechanics, Boundary layer, Meteorology and Oceanography. When carried out as part of a general Turbulence research project, his work on Reynolds stress is frequently linked to work in Surface layer, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His research in Mechanics intersects with topics in Breaking wave and Surface wave.

Within one scientific family, John H. Trowbridge focuses on topics pertaining to Continental shelf under Boundary layer, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Seabed and Sediment. His Meteorology research includes elements of Drag coefficient and Ocean current. His Oceanography research includes themes of Ocean bottom and Foundation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Turbulence (51.69%)
  • Mechanics (41.57%)
  • Boundary layer (31.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Mechanics (41.57%)
  • Surface wave (16.85%)
  • Oceanography (21.35%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mechanics, Surface wave, Oceanography, Ocean Observatories Initiative and Geotechnical engineering. The various areas that John H. Trowbridge examines in his Mechanics study include Forcing and Classical mechanics. His studies deal with areas such as Drag, Turbulence, Reynolds stress and Bedform as well as Surface wave.

The Turbulence study combines topics in areas such as Atmosphere and Boundary layer. His work on Gulf Stream and Mooring as part of general Oceanography study is frequently connected to Plate tectonics, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. As part of one scientific family, John H. Trowbridge deals mainly with the area of Geotechnical engineering, narrowing it down to issues related to the Wavelength, and often Sediment transport and Instability.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The Ocean Observatories Initiative (30 citations)
  • The Bottom Boundary Layer (29 citations)
  • Mechanisms of surface wave energy dissipation over a high‐concentration sediment suspension (28 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Fluid dynamics
  • Mechanics

His main research concerns Oceanography, Surface wave, Turbulence, Boundary layer and Mooring. His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Geophysics, Bedform and Buoyancy. His Surface wave research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Geotechnical engineering, Transition point and Laminar flow.

His Turbulence study is concerned with the field of Mechanics as a whole. His Mooring research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Seafloor spreading, Submarine and Gulf Stream. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Ocean Observatories Initiative and Physical oceanography in his work.
