Baroclinic wave dynamics in the Ekman-free rotating rectangular annulus with localized forced plume
Shivam Swarnakar, Ayan Kumar Banerjee, Sridhar Balasubramanian +1
We report numerical simulations of a rotating rectangular annulus that isolates the Ekman-free bulk of the cylindrical baroclinic annulus, subjected to bi-directional temperature g…
Energetics and mixing efficiency of lock-exchange gravity currents using simultaneous velocity and density fields
Partho Mukherjee, Sridhar Balasubramanian
A series of laboratory experiments on energy conserving gravity currents in a lock-exchange facility are conducted for a range of Reynolds numbers, 485-12270.…
Entrainment and mixing in gravity currents using simultaneous velocity-density measurements
Sridhar Balasubramanian, Qiang Zhong
Gravity currents modify their flow characteristics by entraining ambient fluid, which depends on a variety of governing parameters such as the initial density, , the total init…
Convection in rotating flows with simultaneous imposition of radial and vertical temperature gradients
Ayan Kumar Banerjee, Siddhesh Tirodkar, Amitabh Bhattacharya +1
Laboratory experiments were conducted to study heat transport characteristics in a nonhomogeneously heated fluid annulus subjected to rotation along the vertical axis (z). The nonh…
Dynamics of a buoyant plume in a linearly stratified environment using simultaneous PIV-PLIF measurements
Harish N Mirajkar, Sridhar Balasubramanian
The presence of stratified layer in atmosphere and ocean leads to buoyant vertical motions, commonly referred to as plumes. It is important to study the mixing dynamics of a plume…
