Energetically consistent localised APE budgets for local and regional studies of stratified flow energetics

Remi Tailleux, Guillaume Roullet

Because it allows a rigorous separation between reversible and irreversible processes, the concept of available potential energy (APE) has become central to the study of turbulent…

Negative APE dissipation as the fundamental criterion for double diffusive instabilities

Remi Tailleux

The background potential energy (BPE) is the only reservoir that double diffusive instabilities can tap their energy from when developing from an unforced motionless state with no…

On the determination of the 3D velocity field in terms of conserved variables in a compressible ocean

Remi Tailleux

Explicit expressions of the 3D velocity field in terms of the conserved quantities of ideal fluid thermocline theory, namely Bernoulli function, density, and potential vorticity, a…

On the Links Between Thermobaricity, Available Potential Energy, Neutral Directions, Buoyancy Forces, and Lateral Stirring in the Ocean

Remi Tailleux, Gabriel Wolf

The various ingredients of Lorenz theory of available potential energy (APE) are shown to hold the key for understanding how to develop a first-principles theory of lateral stirrin…

Spiciness theory revisited, with new views on neutral density, orthogonality and passiveness

Remi Tailleux

This paper clarifies the theoretical basis for constructing spiciness variables optimal for characterising ocean water masses. Three essential ingredients are identified: 1) a mate…

The generalised buoyancy/inertial forces and available energy of axisymmetric compressible stratified vortex motions

Remi Tailleux, Bethan L. Harris

Adiabatic and inviscid axisymmetric perturbations to a stable reference vortex in gradient wind balance are known to experience two kinds of restoring forces: one that is proportio…
