Layer Formation in Stratified Taylor–Couette Flow
A new set of high Reynolds number experiments (Re = riΩi∆r ν ∼ 10 − 10) are conducted to examine the layer formation observed in stratified Taylor–Couette flow. A wider range of radius ratios η = ri ro (where ri and ro are the radii of the inner and outer cylinder, respectively) than previously possible is explored to examine the universality of the dependence of layer height l on U N , where U...
متن کاملRadiation Instability in a Stratified Shear Flow
The paper deals with a new mechanism of instability in stratified fluid caused by internal wave radiation from a shear layer. This radiation instability may be explained in terms of the negativeenergy wave concept. These waves are able to grow due to radiation losses. The dispersion relation and non-linear stage of the process are analyzed through a model with tangential velocity discontinuity....
متن کاملNumerical 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 کاملShear layer instability in a highly diffusive stably stratified atmosphere
The linear stability of a shear layer in a highly diffusive stably stratified atmosphere has been investigated. This study completes and extends previous works by Dudis (1974) and Jones (1977). We show that (i) an asymptotic regime is reached in the limit of large thermal diffusivity, (ii) there exists two different types of unstable modes. The slowest growing modes correspond to predominantly ...
متن کاملLarge Eddy Simulations of a Stratified Shear Layer
The performance of the large eddy simulation (LES) approach in predicting the evolution of a shear layer in the presence of stratification is evaluated. The LES uses a dynamic procedure to compute subgrid model coefficients based on filtered velocity and density fields. Two simulations at different Reynolds numbers are simulated on the same computational grid. The fine LES simulated at a low Re...
