Howard's semi-circle theorem is generalized for three-dimensional disturbances in a non-Boussinesq stratified fluid with a mean flow varying horizontally and vertically. In case of Boussinesq approximation Howard's and Rayleigh's theorem are extended for three-dimensional disturbances in a fluid with a mean flow varying only with respect to the latitude.

Diffusion-driven flow arises when a stably stratified fluid is bounded by an inclined wall. For a stratified fluid in an inclined fissure, in which fluid is confined to a gap between two inclined parallel walls, the flow field is determined by the gap width and the angle of inclination. When the gap width is much wider than the buoyancy layer thickness, the problem reduces to that of a semi-inf...

Stratified flow over topography is studied, with oceanic applications in mind. We develop a model for a fluid with arbitrary vertical stratification and a free surface, flowing over threedimensional topography of arbitrary size and steepness, with background rotation, in the linear hydrostatic regime. The model uses an expansion of the flow fields in terms of a set of basis functions which effi...

This paper presents a novel approach for estimation of available bandwidth on access links using stratified probing. The main challenges of performing such estimations in this network part is related to the bursty nature of cross-traffic and the related uncertainty regarding appropriate time period for producing sample estimates. Under the fluid flow traffic model assumption, these problems wou...
