Buoyancy generated turbulence in stably stratified flow with shear
The energy evolution in buoyancy-generated turbulence subjected to shear depends on the gradient Richardson number Ri and the stratification number St, which is a ratio of the time scale of the initial buoyancy fluctuations to the time scale of the mean stratification. During an initial period, the flow state evolves as in the unsheared case. After this period, shear generates fluctuating veloc...
متن کامل2DV Nonlinear k-ε Turbulence Modeling of Stratified Flows
The commonly used linear k-ε turbulence model is shown to be incapable of accurate prediction of turbulent flows, where non-isotropy is dominant. Two examples of non-isotropic flows, which have a wide range of applications in marine waters, are saline water flow and the stratified flows due to temperature gradients. These relate to stratification and consequently, variation of density through...
متن کاملEnergy spectrum of quasigeostrophic turbulence.
We consider the energy spectrum of a quasigeostrophic model of forced, rotating turbulent flow. We provide a rigorous a priori bound E(k)<or=Ck(-2) valid for wave numbers that are smaller than a wave number associated with the forcing injection scale. This upper bound separates this spectrum from the Kolmogorov-Kraichnan k(-5/3) energy spectrum that is expected in a two-dimensional Navier-Stoke...
متن کاملTurbulence Modeling in Stratified Flows over Topography
A non-hydrostatic code that numerically solves the unsteady, three-dimensional, primitive equations is used. Advanced models such as the dynamic mixed model and the dynamic eddy viscosity model are utilized to represent subgrid processes in the LES approach. A novel near-wall model has been developed so as to increase the Reynolds number of boundary flows to realistically large geophysical valu...
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...
