The structure of the near wake of a sphere moving horizontally in a stratified fluid
We present experimental results for the wake structure of spheres moving in homogeneous and stratified fluid. In homogeneous fluid, the results of Kim & Durbin (1988) are confirmed and it is shown that the two characteristic frequencies of the wake correspond to two instability modes, the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and a spiral instability. For the stratified wake four general regimes have be...
متن کاملThe axisymmetric collapse of a mixed patch and internal wave generation in uniformly stratified rotating fluid
We present an experimental and numerical investigation of the effect of Coriolis forces on the axisymmetric collapse of a uniform mixed region in uniformly stratified fluid. Laboratory experiments were performed on a rotating table in which a mixed patch contained initially in a hollow cylinder was released and so excited internal waves whose properties were analyzed using synthetic schlieren. ...
متن کاملThe drag of a body moving transversely in a confined stratified fluid
The slow motion of a body through a stratified fluid bounded laterally by insulating walls is studied for both large and small Peclet number. The Taylor column and its associated boundary and shear layers are very different from the analogous problem in a rotating fluid. In particular, the large Peclet number problem is non-linear and exhibits mixing of statically unstable fluid layers, and hen...
متن کاملThe drag on a vertically moving grid of bars in a linearly stratified fluid
We present the results of an investigation of the drag force on a horizontal grid of bars moving vertically through a stratified fluid. A novel approach was used to calculate the drag, based on measurements of the terminal velocity of a freely rising grid. In the homogeneous case the drag coefficient of the grid is found to be approximately constant for a range of grid-based Reynolds numbers. I...
متن کاملInternal Wave Tunnelling Through Non-uniformly Stratified Shear Flow
We examine the transmission of internal gravity waves through a non-uniformly stratified fluid with vertically varying background shear. To quantify wave transmission we show that the appropriate measure is the ratio of the flux of transmitted to incident pseudoenergy, T. We derive an analytic prediction of T for the transmission of waves through a piecewise-linear shear flow in two cases. In b...
