In this paper, we first revisit the celebrated Boussinesq approximation in stratified flows. Using scaling arguments we show that when the background shear is weak, the Boussinesq approximation yields either (i) $A_t\ll \mathcal{O}(1)$ or…

According to Richardson's cascade description of turbulence, large vortices break up to form smaller ones, thereby transferring kinetic energy towards smaller scales. Energy dissipation occurs at the smallest scales due to viscosity. We…

Energy transfers from larger to smaller scales in turbulence. This energy cascade is a process of the creation of smaller-scale coherent vortices by larger ones. In our recent study (Yoneda, Goto and Tsuruhashi 2021), we reformulated the…
