Three-dimensional, time-resolved velocity and density measurements of the stratified shear flow in an inclined duct
Laboratory experiments on the stratified shear flow in an inclined duct are reported. Stratified turbulence is observed in this two-layer exchange flow, whose dissipation is controlled by the duct inclination and compares in intensity with that observed in geophysical contexts. A setup enabling three-dimensional (3D) simultaneous Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Laser-Induced Fluorescence (...
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 کاملAn hydrodynamic shear instability in stratified disks
We discuss the possibility that astrophysical accretion disks are dynamically unstable to nonaxisymmetric disturbances with characteristic scales much smaller than the vertical scale height. The instability is studied using three methods: one based on the energy integral, which allows the determination of a sufficient condition of stability, one using a WKB approach, which allows the determinat...
متن کاملTransient Development of Perturbations in Stratified Shear Flow
Transient development of perturbations in inviscid stratified shear flow is investigated. Use is made of closed form analytic solutions that allow concise identification of optimally growing plane-wave solutions for the case ofan unbounded flow with constant shear and stratification. For the case of channel flow, variational techniques are employed to determine the optimally growing disturbance...
