Quantifying mixing and available potential energy in vertically periodic simulations of stratified flows
Christopher J. Howland, John R. Taylor, C. P. Caulfield
Turbulent mixing exerts a significant influence on many physical processes in the ocean. In a stably stratified Boussinesq fluid, this irreversible mixing describes the conversion…

Shear-induced breaking of internal gravity waves
Christopher J. Howland, John R. Taylor, C. P. Caulfield
Motivated by observations of turbulence in the strongly stratified ocean thermocline, we use direct numerical simulations to investigate the interaction of a sinusoidal shear flow…
