Resonant triad interactions in a stably stratified uniform shear flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resonant triad interactions among internal gravity waves in the presence of a uniform shear flow have been explored using analytical and numerical techniques. The existence self-resonances induced by background is shown from linear theory. For different mode interaction cases, approach alone insufficient for broader range control parameters. Hence, divergence second-order solutions representing superharmonic wave has used to predict resonating modes.

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 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 کاملStably stratified canopy flow in complex terrain
Stably stratified canopy flow in complex terrain has been considered a difficult condition for measuring net ecosystem–atmosphere exchanges of carbon, water vapor, and energy. A long-standing advection error in eddy-flux measurements is caused by stably stratified canopy flow. Such a condition with strong thermal gradient and less turbulent air is also difficult for modeling. To understand the ...
متن کاملVorticity inversion and action-at-a-distance instability in stably stratified shear flow
The somewhat counter-intuitive effect of how stratification destabilizes shear flows is reexamined, in what we believe to be the simplest example, in terms of action-at-a-distance interaction between ‘buoyancy-vorticity gravity wave kernels’. The setup consists of an infinite uniform shear Couette flow in which the Rayleigh-Fjortoft necessary conditions for shear flow instability are not satisf...
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....
