Two pathways to diapycnal mixing in strongly stratified flows with no initial vertical shear
Pascale Garaud, Dante Buhl, Jason Johnstone +2
While vertically-sheared stratified flows have been studied extensively, their horizontally-sheared counterparts have received considerably less attention. Yet, horizontal shear in…

Regimes of stratified turbulence at low Prandtl number
Kasturi Shah, Gregory P. Chini, Colm-cille P. Caulfield +1
Quantifying transport by strongly stratified turbulence in low Prandtl number () fluids is critically important for the development of better models for the structure and evolu…

Numerical validation of scaling laws for stratified turbulence
Pascale Garaud, Greg P. Chini, Laura Cope +2
Recent theoretical progress using multiscale asymptotic analysis has revealed various possible regimes of stratified turbulence. Notably, buoyancy transport can either be dominated…
