Mechanical Engineering Seminar by Dr. Ali Mashayek of MIT
- Location: Textiles Building 101E
- Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
- Description: The Mechanical Engineering Department is pleased to announce the following SEMINAR:
DATE:
December 1, 2016
TIME:
1:00 p.m. 2:00 p.m.
LOCATION:
Textile Building, Room 101E
SPEAKER:
Dr. Ali Mashayek, Postdoctoral Associate
Department of Earth, Atmosphere and Planetary Sciences at MIT
TOPIC:
Turbulent mixing in the ocean: from small scale shear-induced turbulence to large scale overturning circulation
ABSTRACT:
Motivated by the importance of diapycnal mixing parameterizations in large scale ocean general circulation models, I provide a detailed analysis of high Reynolds number mixing in density stratified shear flows which constitute an archetypical example of the small scale physical processes occurring in the oceanic interior that control turbulent diffusion. My focus is upon the issue as to whether the route to fully developed turbulence in the stratified mixing layer is in any significant way determinant of diapycnal mixing efficiency as presented by an effective turbulent diffusivity. I will argue the answer is yes. I will then present a first crude attempt at connecting understanding of small scale physics of wave-induced turbulence in the ocean to the global ocean abyssal circulation and will argue that the small scale physics I study has a leading order impact on the climate system.
BIO:
I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the Department of Earth, Atmosphere and Planetary Sciences ( EAPS ) at MIT. In my research I employ knowledge of fluid mechanics, applied mathematics and numerical methods to study problems in geophysical fluid dynamics, interfacial dynamics, theory of stratified turbulence, coupled atmosphere/ocean large scale circulation and climate dynamics.
I received a PhD in physics from the Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Physics group, EAPP, at the University of Toronto. My PhD thesis, was focused on studying (I) wave mechanics, stratified turbulence, and quantification of diapycnal mixing in the shear-dominated mixing layers in the atmosphere and ocean; (II) role of Southern Ocean winds and enhanced abyssal ocean mixing in driving the ocean overturning circulation. The former was partially done in collaboration with DAMTP, University of Cambridge, while the later was in collaboration with EAPS, MIT.
For more information please contact Dr. Mehdi Raessi, MNE Seminar Coordinator (mraessi@umassd.edu, 508-999-8496).
All are welcome and light refreshments will be served!
Students taking MNE-500 are REQUIRED to attend! All other MNE students are encouraged to attend.
EAS students are encouraged to attend.
Thank you,

Confidential HIV Testing
- Location: Center for Women, Gender & Sexuality
- Contact: LiveWell: Office of Health Education, Promotion, & Wellness
- Description: Improved HIV testing technology can detect new infections within two weeks of an exposure. This test requires a blood draw, which is performed by trained counselors from our partner, Seven Hills. You receive your results in about a week. Testing is first-come, first-served. No appointments.

Fine Arts Faculty Exhibition & Collaborative Aggregates Art Scholarship Exhibition
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Cost: free
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: An exhibition of Fine Arts faculty at the College of Visual and Performing Arts presents recent faculty work in Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Sculpture, and Mixed-Media at the UMass Dartmouth CVPA Campus Gallery from November 8 through December 12, 2016.
Also on display will be the Collaborative Aggregates Art Scholarship Exhibition. Collaborative Aggregates has awarded six $1,500 scholarships to students in the Department of Fine Arts enrolled in the graduate or undergraduate program: Henry Carpio, April Claggett, Devin Kish, Andrew Laverty, Allen TenBusschen, and Erin Wheary. Works by each scholarship winner will be included in the Collaborate Aggregates annual calendar and are also presented in this exhibition.
The mission of the Department of Fine Arts is to maintain an environment where artists are committed to the pursuit of teaching, research, and creative work. This faculty of professional artists provides a high-quality cross-disciplinary studio education to students at the foundation, undergraduate, and graduate levels through formal, aesthetic, technical, and intellectual training. Faculty members prepare students to become creative artists, pursue graduate study, or engage in Fine Arts-related professions through the attainment of their BFA and MFA degrees.
The closing reception will be held on Monday, December 12th, from 4 pm to 6 pm with artist talks at 5 pm.
