Turbulent mixing in a stratified fluid
The strength of diapycnal mixing by small-scale motions in a stratified fluid is investigated through changes to the mean buoyancy profile. We study the mixing in laboratory experiments in which an initially linearly stratified fluid is stirred with a rake of vertical bars. The flow evolution Ž . depends on the Richardson number Ri , defined as the ratio of buoyancy forces to inertial forces. A...
متن کاملMixing in confined stratified aquifers.
Spatial variability in a flow field leads to spreading of a tracer plume. The effect of microdispersion is to smooth concentration gradients that exist in the system. The combined effect of these two phenomena leads to an 'effective' enhanced mixing that can be asymptotically quantified by an effective dispersion coefficient (i.e. Taylor dispersion). Mixing plays a fundamental role in driving c...
متن کاملMixing events in a stratified jet subject to surface wind and buoyancy forcing
The fine-scale response of a subsurface stable stratified jet subject to the forcing of surface wind stress and surface cooling is investigated using direct numerical simulation. The initial velocity profile consists of a symmetric jet located below a surface layer driven by a constant wind stress. The initial density profile is well-mixed in the surface layer and linearly stratified in both up...
متن کاملTurbulent mixing of stratified flows
A mathematical model for turbulent mixing of stratified, sheared flows is developed and explored. Two applications are emphasized, one to the dynamics of the ocean well–mixed layer, and another to the analysis of the stability of equilibrium profiles away from boundaries.
متن کاملLagrangian mixing in decaying stably stratified turbulence
Direct numerical simulations are used to study mixing and dispersion in decaying stably stratified turbulence from a Lagrangian perspective. The change in density of fluid particles owing to small-scale mixing is extracted from the simulations to provide insight into the mixing process. These changes are driven by temporally and spatially intermittent events that are strongly suppressed as the ...
