Ph.D. or M.S. student sought I’m looking for a M.S. or Ph.D.-level student to study boundary layer dynamics and mixing in Lake Michigan. Recent Official dedication of our new H2O lab. The lab includes greatly enhanced water research space, a 2-story data visualization room, a waterfall, and a “wet classroom” for active learning. Check it out! Recent The 10m stratified flows facility is now operational! Stay tuned for more as we add salt!

Welcome to the home page of Cary Troy. I am an assistant professor in the Hydraulics and Hydrology Group in the School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University. My research interests lie primarily in the field of environmental fluid mechanics, the study of fluid flows as they naturally occur in the environment. Current research topics include:
· Transport and circulation in Lake Michigan · Mixing and water quality in inland lakes · Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) mapping of water quality and bathymetry |

What comes around goes around Data from the middle of Lake Michigan’s southern basin (EEGLE; 1998-1999) showing the purely periodic motions associated with the internal Poincare seiche. Analysis shows that this wave is responsible for more than 90% of the energy at this location for much of the year. |
