Mixing induced by Faraday surface waves
Andrés Castillo-Castellanos, Benoît-Joseph Gréa, Antoine Briard +1
We investigate how surface waves enhance mixing across the interface between two miscible fluids with a small density contrast. Imposing a vertical, time-periodic acceleration, we…
A statistical mechanics approach to mixing in stratified fluids
Antoine Venaille, Louis Gostiaux, Joel Sommeria
Predicting how much mixing occurs when a given amount of energy is injected into a Boussinesq fluid is a longstanding problem in stratified turbulence. The huge number of degrees o…
New wave generation
Matthieu J. Mercier, Denis Martinand, Manikandan Mathur +3
We present the results of a combined experimental and numerical study of the generation of internal waves using the novel internal wave generator design of Gostiaux et al. (2007).…
The role of fluctuations across a density interface
Antoine Venaille, Louis Gostiaux, Joël Sommeria
A statistical mechanics theory for a fluid stratified in density is presented. The predicted statistical equilibrium state is the most probable outcome of turbulent stirring. The s…
Comparison of Ellison and Thorpe scales from Eulerian ocean temperature observations
Andrea Cimatoribus, Hans van Haren, Louis Gostiaux
Ocean turbulence dissipation rate is estimated either by means of microstructure shear measurements, or by adiabatically reordering vertical profiles of density. The latter techniq…
