The deformation of marine snow enables its disaggregation in simulated oceanic shear
Understanding the effect of hydrodynamics on aggregate size and structure is key to predicting mass transport in the aquatic environment. Aggregation theory of particles is well established but our knowledge of deformation processes, biological bonding forces, and their effects on fragmentation of a...
