How does turbulence mix a stratified fluid?

Abstract: A principal topic of interest and importance in stably stratified flows is how turbulence irreversibly mixes the ambient density field. Because the density field is coupled dynamically to the velocity field through the stable stratification, this mixing affects the overall flow dynamics, and its accurate parameterisation has become a ‘grand challenge’ in environmental fluid mechanics (Dauxois et al., Phys. Rev. Fluids, vol. 6, issue 2, 2021, 020501). In order to better understand the detailed kinematics of mix… Show more

“…The objective of this paper is to tackle these issues by using the same datasets as Jiang et al. (2022) and quantifying the relation between kinematic rotational and shearing flow structures and the dynamics and energetics of the flow, an open question (Riley 2022) essential to improve parametrisations. Specifically, we will address the two following questions.…”
