Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation of stably stratified turbulent channel flow using large-eddy simulation
Vincenzo Armenio,Sutanu Sarkar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large-eddy simulation approach is used with a mixed subgrid model that involves a dynamic eddy viscosity component and a scale-similarity component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-dependent, non-monotonic mixing in stratified turbulent shear flows: implications for oceanographic estimates of buoyancy flux
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ direct numerical simulation to investigate the efficiency of diapycnal mixing by shear-induced turbulence in stably stratified free shear layers for flows with bulk Richardson numbers in the range and Reynolds number.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the flux Richardson number in stably stratified turbulence
TL;DR: The flux Richardson number as mentioned in this paper is a widely used parameter in stably stratified turbulence which is intended to provide a measure of the amount of turbulent kinetic energy that is irreversibly converted to background potential energy (which is by definition the minimum potential energy that a stratified fluid can attain that is not available for conversion back to kinetic energy).
Journal ArticleDOI
On the production and dissipation of mechanical energy in the ocean
Rolf G. Lueck,Robert O. Reid +1 more
TL;DR: The work done by the atmosphere dominates production and is estimated as 0.1 W/m2 from synoptic data which is consistent with most (but not all) of the reported observations of turbulent dissipation as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-similar mixing in stratified plane Couette flow for varying Prandtl number
TL;DR: The EPSRC Programme grant EP/K034529/1 entitled Mathematical Underpinnings of Stratified Turbulence as discussed by the authors is gratefully acknowledged for supporting the research presented here.
