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…

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…

Local available energetics of multicomponent compressible stratified fluids

Remi Tailleux

We extend the local theory of available potential energy (APE) to a general multicomponent compressible stratified fluid, accounting for the effects of diabatic sinks and sources.…

A new process-based vertical advection/diffusion theoretical model of ocean heat uptake

Remi Tailleux, Antoine Hochet, David Ferreira +2

The vertical upwelling/diffusion model (VUDM) has historically played a key role in shaping our ideas about how the heat balance is achieved in the ocean. Its has been and is still…

Isoneutral control of effective diapycnal mixing in numerical ocean models with neutral rotated diffusion tensors

Antoine Hochet, Remi Tailleux, David Ferreira +1

The current view about the mixing of heat and salt in the ocean is that it should be parameterised by means of a rotated diffusion tensor based on mixing directions parallel and pe…
