An idealized numerical study of a northward propagating internal tide reveals a dramatic
loss of energy to small‐scale subharmonic instabilities near 28.9° N. Inspired by …

The mean velocity profile scaling and the vorticity structure of a stably stratified, initially
turbulent wake of a towed sphere are studied numerically using a high-accuracy spectral …

Motivated by observations of a strong near-inertial wave signal at the base of the
semipermanent anticyclonic Cyprus Eddy during the 2010 Biogeochemistry from the …

This paper describes a nonlinear, three‐dimensional spectral collocation method for the
simulation of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations under the Boussinesq …

Results of large-eddy simulation (LES) of Langmuir circulations (LC) in a wind-driven shear
current in shallow water are reported. The LC are generated via the well-known Craik …

The time-dependent boundary layer induced by a weakly nonlinear solitary internal wave in
shallow water is examined through direct numerical simulation. Waves of depression and …

A spectral multidomain penalty method model has been developed for the simulation of high
Reynolds number localized stratified turbulence. This is the first time that a penalty method …

We derive an asymptotic model that describes the nonlinear coupled evolution of (i) near-
inertial waves (NIWs),(ii) balanced quasi-geostrophic flow and (iii) near-inertial second …

One interpretation of the mechanism of instability in stratified shear flows is based on the
idea that two independently propagating waves may interact to cause mutual growth in one …

Direct numerical simulations are used to compare turbulent diffusivities of heat and salt
during the growth and collapse of Kelvin–Helmholtz billows. The ratio of diffusivities is …
