- W2986291273 abstract "Abstract Local flow dynamics play a central role in physiological processes like respiration and nutrient uptake in coral reefs. Despite the importance of corals as hosts to a quarter of all marine life, and the pervasive threats currently facing corals, little is known about the detailed hydrodynamics of branching coral colonies. Here, in order to investigate the effects of the colony branch density and surface roughness on the local flow field, three-dimensional simulations were performed using immersed boundary, large-eddy simulations for four different colony geometries under low and high unidirectional oncoming flow conditions. The first two colonies were from the Pocillopora genus, one with a densely branched geometry, and one with a comparatively loosely branched geometry. The second pair of colony geometries were derived from a scan of a single Montipora capitata colony, one with the verrucae covering the surface intact, and one with the verrucae removed. We found that the mean velocity profiles in the densely branched colony changed substantially in the middle of the colony, becoming significantly reduced at middle heights where flow penetration was poor, while the mean velocity profiles in the loosely branched colony remained similar in character from the front to the back of the colony, with no middle-range velocity deficit appearing at the center of the colony. When comparing the turbulent flow statistics at the surface of the rough and smooth M. capitata colonies, we found higher Reynolds stress components for the smooth colony, indicating higher rates of mixing and transport compared to the rough colony, which must sacrifice mixing and transport efficiency in order to maintain its surface integrity in its natural high-flow environment. These results suggest that the densely branched, roughly patterned corals found in high flow areas may be more resistant not only to breakage, but also to flow penetration." @default.
