"Nutrients are brought to the euphotic zone from deep water by the coastal upwelling processes."

Large-eddy simulation of turbulent flow and dispersion over a complex urban street canyon.

The distribution and motion of plastics caused by eddy formations in natural water bodies can be predicted using Lagrangian transport models.

Environmental flows[ edit]
Eddy formations play a vital role in the fate and transport of solutes and particles in environmental flows such as in rivers, lakes, oceans, and the atmosphere. Upwelling in stratified coastal estuaries warrant the formation of dynamic eddies which distribute nutrients out from beneath the boundary layer to form plumes. Shallow waters, such as those along the coast, play a complex role in the transport of nutrients and pollutants due to the proximity of the upper-boundary driven by the wind and the lower-boundary near the bottom of the water body.
