The butterfly effect and the transition to turbulence in a stratified shear layer

CL Liu, AK Kaminski, WD Smyth - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
In a stably stratified shear layer, multiple competing instabilities produce sensitivity to small
changes in initial conditions, popularly called the butterfly effect (as a flapping wing may …

The effects of boundary proximity on Kelvin–Helmholtz instability and turbulence

CL Liu, AK Kaminski, WD Smyth - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
Studies of Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability have typically modelled the initial flow as an
isolated shear layer. In geophysical cases, however, the instability often occurs near …

Turbulence generation via nonlinear lee wave trailing edge instabilities in Kuroshio‐seamount interactions

YY Yeh, MH Chang, RC Lien, JX Chang… - Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Physical processes behind flow‐topography interactions and turbulent transitions are
essential for parameterization in numerical models. We examine how the Kuroshio …

C Chen, Q Zhan - Plos one, 2023 - journals.plos.org
With the scarcity of water resources in various regions, the pressure on water supply projects
is also increasing, which has led to a sharp increase in the water hammer effect in water …

Kelvin-Helmholtz Turbulence in Complex Environments

CL Liu - 2023 - ir.library.oregonstate.edu
Abstract Studies of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability have modelled the initial flow as an isolated
shear layer, without the effects of a no-slip boundary or a neighboring shear layer. However …

Turbulence and mixing from neighbouring stratified shear layers

CL Liu, AK Kaminski, WD Smyth - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
Studies of Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability have typically modelled the initial mean flow as
an isolated stratified shear layer. However, geophysical flows frequently exhibit multiple …
