Fluid motions in the presence of strong stable stratification

JJ Riley, MP Lelong - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2000 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract We review the dynamics of stably stratified flows in the regime in which the Froude
number is considered small and the Rossby number is of order one or greater. In particular …

Self-similarity of strongly stratified inviscid flows

P Billant, JM Chomaz - Physics of fluids, 2001 - pubs.aip.org
It is well-known that strongly stratified flows are organized into a layered pancake structure
in which motions are mostly horizontal but highly variable in the vertical direction. However …

Dynamics of turbulence strongly influenced by buoyancy

JJ Riley, SM DeBruynkops - Physics of Fluids, 2003 - pubs.aip.org
The dynamics of quasi-horizontal motions in a stably stratified fluid have been simulated for
Froude numbers of order 1, so that the flows are strongly affected by the stable density …

Experimental evidence for a new instability of a vertical columnar vortex pair in a strongly stratified fluid

P Billant, JM Chomaz - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2000 - cambridge.org
This paper shows that a long vertical columnar vortex pair created by a double flap
apparatus in a strongly stratified fluid is subjected to an instability distinct from the Crow and …
