Layering, instabilities, and mixing in turbulent stratified flows

CP Caulfield - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Understanding how turbulence leads to the enhanced irreversible transport of heat and

From topographic internal gravity waves to turbulence

S Sarkar, A Scotti - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Internal gravity waves are a key process linking the large-scale mechanical forcing of the
oceans to small-scale turbulence and mixing. In this review, we focus on internal waves …

The dynamics of breaking internal solitary waves on slopes

RS Arthur, OB Fringer - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
Using direct numerical simulations (DNS), we investigate the structure and energetics of
breaking internal waves on slopes. We employ a Navier–Stokes code in an idealized three …
