Numerical experiments on strongly stratified homogeneous shear turbulence
Turbulence in strongly stable density stratification is a common phenomenon in atmosphere and in oceans and other large water bodies. Stably and strongly stratified turbulence have been studied in many experimental and numerical studies. A characteristic feature of strongly stratified turbulence observed in several studies is the formation of quasi-horizontal layers. During the last decade, the...
متن کاملInstability Associated Baroclinic Critical Layers in Rotating Stratified Shear Flow
The notion of over-reflection has been used to rationalize the linear instability of shear flows that are directed and sheared in a horizontal plane but stratified and subject to rotation in the vertical. In the linear stability analysis of these types of flows, two types of critical levels may appear that translate to singular points in the corresponding differential eigenvalue problem. The fi...
متن کاملOn the Stability of Stratified Flows with a Horizontal Shear
Howard’s semi-circle theorem [4] states that the complex wavespeed for an unstable mode must fall within the range of values of the base flow, a conclusion that has proven to be of fundamental importance for a wide variety of flow phenomena. Howard’s original proof applies to a two-dimensional basic state, u(z), where z is the vertical distance and u is the horizontal velocity, with two dimensi...
متن کاملa comparative study of language learning strategies employmed by bilinguals and monolinguals with reference to attitudes and motivation
هدف از این تحقیق بررسی برخی عوامل ادراکی واحساسی یعنی استفاده از شیوه های یادگیری زبان ، انگیزه ها ونگرش نسبت به زبان انگلیسی در رابطه با زمینه زبانی زبان آموزان می باشد. هدف بررسی این نکته بود که آیا اختلافی چشمگیر میان زبان آموزان دو زبانه و تک زبانه در میزان استفاده از شیوه های یادگیری زبان ، انگیزه ها نگرش و سطح مهارت زبانی وجود دارد. همچنین سعی شد تا بهترین و موثرترین عوامل پیش بینی کننده ...
15 صفحه اولUnderstanding critical layers in stratified shear flow instabilities: A wave interaction perspective
In this paper we examine the dynamics of unstable critical layers in stratified shear flows. This is done from the framework of the wave interaction theory of shear instabilities, which views instability as arising from the mutual interaction between wave motions that are present in the background shear and density fields. By formulating a simple analytical model of the structure of vorticity w...
