Description for Environmental Stratified Flows
Paperback. Covers the theory of stratified flows, from basic concepts to developments in environmental fluid mechanics. This title offers a view of stratified turbulent flows, from small-scale mixing to large-scale environmental phenomena, including detailed discussion on interaction between turbulence and internal gravity waves. Editor(s): Armenio, Vincenzo; Sarkar, Sutanu. Series: CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences. Num Pages: 239 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TGMF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 170 x 13. Weight in Grams: 396.
Stratified flows, common in environmental and geophysical applications, are char acterized by the variation of fluid density in the vertical direction that can result in qualitative and quantitative modifications of the flow patterns by buoyancy . Unstable stratification (dense water/air above light water/air) increases the ver tical mixing by generation of convective cells while stable stratification generally suppresses vertical mixing of mass and momentum. Even so, a stably stratified fluid can support internal waves, instabilities and turbulence that play a critical role in transport and mixing. The ocean is predominantly subject to stable stratification which, under exter nal excitation, supports ... Read more
