The commonly used linear k-ε turbulence model is shown to be incapable of accurate prediction of turbulent flows, where non-isotropy is dominant. Two examples of non-isotropic flows, which have a wide range of applications in marine waters, are saline water flow and the stratified flows due to temperature gradients. These relate to stratification and consequently, variation of density through...

Basic topological constructions of manifold stratified spaces and stratified approximate fibrations are studied. These include products of manifold stratified spaces, products and compositions of stratified approximate fibrations and Euclidean stabilization of stratified approximate fibrations. The main result shows that the adjunction of two manifold stratified spaces via a manifold stratified...
