Potential Vorticity Thickness Fluxes and Wave–Mean Flow Interaction
The use of eddy flux of thickness between density surfaces has become a familiar starting point in oceanographic studies of adiabatic eddy effects on the mean density distribution. In this study, a dynamical analogy with the density thickness flux approach is explored to reexamine the theory of nonzonal wave–mean flow interaction in two-dimensional horizontal flows. By analogy with the density ...
متن کاملTurbulence Fluxes
The long-term goal of this program is to understand the processes by which heat and mass are transported vertically by turbulent processes in the ocean in order to estimate the rates of these transports. Our ongoing studies of both the kinematics and dynamics of turbulence and other smallscale physical phenomena in the ocean emphasize observations, a continual program of sensor and instrumentat...
متن کاملMomentum, Vorticity, and Mass Fluxes at SandyDuck
The objectives of this project are to: (1) quantify the quality of data from “Phased-Array Doppler Sonar” (PADS) systems in the shallow water environment near shore; (2) classify the observed circulation conditions in terms of wave height and direction, wind strength and direction, mean flow strength and direction, and variability; (3) investigate direct interactions between the incoming waves ...
متن کاملFluid mechanics, turbulent flow and turbulence modeling
This course material is used in two courses in the International Master’s programmeAppliedMechanics at Chalmers. The two courses are TME225 Mechanics of fluids (Chapters 1-10), and MTF270 Turbulence Modeling (Chapters 11-27). MSc students who follow these courses are supposed to have taken one basic course in fluid mechanics. The lecture notes are also used in the three-day course Unsteady Simu...
متن کاملTurbulence Modeling in Stratified Flows Subject to Advective Buoyancy Fluxes
The goal of this work is to examine in detail how turbulence evolves in the presence of both vertical stratification and horizontal (straining) buoyancy fluxes. Horizontal density gradients are a ubiquitous feature of estuarine and coastal flows, as are sheared velocity profiles. The combination of these two features produces a buoyancy flux which can be either stabilizing or destabilizing, dep...
