On Bragg resonances and wave triad interactions in two-layered shear flows
The standard resonance conditions for Bragg scattering as well as weakly nonlinear wave
triads have been traditionally derived in the absence of any background velocity. In this …

On the inertial effects of density variation in stratified shear flows
In this paper, we first revisit the celebrated Boussinesq approximation in stratified flows.
Using scaling arguments we show that when the background shear is weak, the Boussinesq …

On physical optics approximation of stratified shear flows with eddy viscosity
N Karjanto - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
We study a mathematical model of a perturbed stratified shear mean flow in the presence of
eddy coefficients of turbulent viscosity. We adopt the standard Boussinesq approximation in …

Holmboe instability beyond the Boussinesq approximation revisited
SM Churilov - Physics of Fluids, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
With no use of the Boussinesq approximation, the Holmboe instability is studied in sharply
stratified shear flows with arbitrary monotonic and bounded velocity profiles without …
