CFD Simulation of Low Reynolds-number Turbulence Models in Coral Thermal Microenvironment

The increasing frequency and severity of mass bleaching events in the past few decades has raised considerable concerns. Here we report on the numerical simulations of Low Reynolds turbulence models coral microenvironments to determine surface temperature rise in reef corals and test whether our mod...
