Jesus Planella

Jesus Planella is a Lecturer at the Department of Physics, University of Girona, specializing in turbulence and mixing phenomena within environmental fluids. His work focuses on geophysical fluid dynamics and climate system processes.

Research: Active in the Group of Environmental Physics, Planella investigates turbulent flows in natural systems. Current work involves the Spanish Government-funded project Measurements for description and modeling of turbulence and mixing (FIS2008-03608), analyzing heat transfer in lakes and tidal turbulence on continental shelves.

Scientific Contributions: His recent publications examine geothermal heat flux mechanisms in aquatic environments and intermittent turbulence patterns in tidal flows, offering insights into environmental fluid behavior and climate modeling.
