Optimal mixing in two-dimensional stratified plane Poiseuille flow at finite Péclet and Richardson numbers
F. Marcotte, C. P. Caulfield
We consider the nonlinear optimisation of irreversible mixing induced by an initial finite amplitude perturbation of a statically stable density-stratified fluid. A constant pressu…

Irreversible mixing by unstable periodic orbits in buoyancy dominated stratified turbulence
Dan Lucas, C. P. Caulfield
We consider turbulence driven by a large-scale horizontal shear in Kolmogorov flow (i.e. with sinusoidal body forcing) and a background linear stable stratification with buoyancy f…

Layer formation in horizontally forced stratified turbulence: connecting exact coherent structures to linear instabilities
Dan Lucas, C. P. Caulfield, Rich R. Kerswell
We consider turbulence in a stratified 'Kolmogorov' flow, driven by horizontal shear in the form of sinusoidal body forcing in the presence of an imposed background linear stable s…
