Mixing 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 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 کاملScalar mixing and strain dynamics methodologies for PIV/LIF measurements of vortex ring flows Scalar mixing and strain dynamics methodologies for PIV/LIF measurements of vortex ring flows
Fluid mixing operations are central to possibly all chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries, either being related to biphasic blending in polymerisation processes, cell suspension for biopharmaceuticals production and fractionation of complex oil mixtures. This work aims at providing a fundamental understanding of the mixing and stretching dynamics occurring in a reactor in the p...
متن کاملA Non-Fickian Mixing Model for Stratified Turbulent Flows
The long term goal of this project is to develop a better understanding of oceanic processes in the range of 100 m to 10 km, in the so-called submesoscale range. In particular, it is important to explore and find out whether and what type of submesoscale instabilities exist, how they are connected to both larger scale and smaller scale motions, and to what extent they influence transport proces...
متن کاملTurbulent 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...
