Diapycnal mixing in layered stratified plane Couette flow quantified in a tracer-based coordinate

Zhou, Qi; Caulfield, Colm-cille Patrick; Linden, Paul Frederick; Taylor, John Ryan (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-07)

The mixing properties of statically stable density interfaces subject to imposed vertical shear are studied using direct numerical simulations of stratified plane Couette flow. The simulations are designed to investigate ...
On vortex rings impacting a sharply-stratified interface

Olsthoorn, Jason Peter (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsHughes Hall, 2017-06-14)

This thesis presents an investigation into the dynamics of vortex rings impacting a sharply-stratified density interface. This problem has a long history and is important for understanding how individual eddies in stratified ...
Research data supporting Vortex-ring-induced stratified mixing: mixing model

Olsthoorn, Jason; Dalziel, Stuart Bruce
Self-similar mixing in stratified plane Couette flow for varying Prandtl number

Zhou, Qi; Taylor, John Ryan; Caulfield, Colm-cille Patrick (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-06-10)

We investigate fully developed turbulence in stratified plane Couette flows using direct numerical simulations similar to those reported by Deusebio et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 781, 2015, pp. 298-329) expanding the range ...
