The entrainment assumption, relating the inflow velocity to the local mean velocity of a
turbulent flow, has been used successfully to describe natural phenomena over a wide …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the various aspects of advances in physical
limnology. A discussion of seasonal behavior and the role of the geographic location of a …

▪ 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 …

A turbulent field is produced with an oscillating grid in a deep, rotating tank. Near the grid,
the Rossby number is kept large, 0 (3-33), and the turbulence is locally unaffected by …

An improved model for the oceanic boundary layer is presented in view of the recent
observation of the microstructure of the upper ocean including the high dissipation rate near …

This paper gives a self contained review of some recent progress of the statistical theory of
fully developed turbulence. The emphasis is on both analogies and differences with …

The simulation of turbulent mixing processes in marine waters is one of the most pressing
tasks in oceanography. It is rendered difficult by the various complex phenomena occurring …

Laboratory experiments on mixing in stratified fluids are examined in the light of some
simple energy arguments applied to an analysis of mixing at density interfaces. It is shown …

We apply a one-dimensional mixed layer model, based on second moment closure of
turbulence, to study the effects of surface gravity waves on mixing in the oceanic mixed …

Turbulence generated by vertical oscillations of a horizontal monoplanar grid in
homogeneous water contained in a tank was used to study certain properties of nearly …
