The effects of a stably-stratified boundary layer on flow and dispersion in a bi-dimensional street canyon have been investigated experimentally in a wind tunnel in combination with differential wall heating. Laser-Doppler anemometry…
In this paper non-neutral approaching flows were employed in a meteorological wind tunnel on a regular urban-like array of rectangular buildings. As far as stable stratification is concerned, results on the flow above and inside the canopy…
The presence of stratified layer in atmosphere and ocean leads to buoyant vertical motions, commonly referred to as plumes. It is important to study the mixing dynamics of a plume at a local scale in order to model their evolution and…
We investigate experimentally phenomenon of turbulent thermal diffusion of micron-size solid particles in an inhomogeneous convective turbulence forced by one vertically-oriented oscillating grid in an air flow. This effect causes formation…
The evolution of a two-phase, air and unsaturated water vapor, time decaying, shearless, turbulent layer has been studied in the presence of both stable and unstable perturbations of the normal temperature lapse rate. The top interface…
We study the dynamical regimes of a density-stratified fluid confined between isothermal no-slip top and bottom boundaries (at temperatures $T_t$ and $T_b$) via direct numerical simulation. The thermal expansion coefficient of the fluid is…
Density stratification in geophysical environments can be non-uniform, particularly in thermohaline staircases and atmospheric layer transitions. Non-uniform stratification, however, is often approximated by the average ambient density…
The turbulent flow within and above a sparse canopy is investigated using direct numerical simulations. The balance of Reynolds to viscous stresses within the canopy is observed to be similar to that over a smooth wall. From this, a scaling…
Experimental results for passive tracer dispersion in the turbulent surface layer under convective conditions are presented. In this case, the dispersion of tracer particles is determined by the interplay of two mechanisms: buoyancy and…
Lagrangian measurements of tracer particle dispersion in stratified turbulence are presented from a large-scale experiment achieving both high buoyancy Reynolds numbers and low Froude numbers -- a regime characteristic of oceanic…
This work deals with stability of two-phase stratified air-water flows in horizontal circular pipes. For this purpose, we performed a linear stability analysis, which considers all possible three-dimensional infinitesimal disturbances and…
We investigate the transport dynamics of negatively buoyant passive sediment in a thermally stratified plane Poiseuille flow using numerical simulation, exploring the influence of large-scale coherent structures on sediment transport…
Numerical simulations of turbulent stratified convection are used to study models with approximately the same convective flux, but different radiative fluxes. As the radiative flux is decreased, for constant convective flux: the entropy…
The influence of stable and unstable stratification on the amplification of coherent structures in turbulent channel flows is investigated by computing the linear response to stochastic forcing. The responses to momentum and thermal forcing…
High-resolution large-eddy simulations of decaying stratified and unstratified homogeneous turbulence are used to understand the mixing of passive scalars in stably stratified flows. Two passive scalar mixing layers, one in the vertical…
A water-filled differentially heated rotating annulus with initially prepared stable vertical salinity profiles is studied in the laboratory. Based on two-dimensional horizontal particle image velocimetry (PIV) data, and infrared camera…
Flow over a surface can be stratified by imposing a fixed mean vertical temperature (density) gradient profile throughout or via cooling at the surface. These distinct mechanisms can act simultaneously to establish a stable stratification…
The stability of atmospheric stratified fluids is revisited to study the influence of the temperature-dependent density inhomogeneity due to thermal expansion in the Earth's lower atmosphere (with heights $0$ to $50$ km) under the action of…
We consider the influence of transverse confinement on the instability properties of velocity and density distributions reminiscent of those pertaining to exchange flows in stratified inclined ducts, such as the recent experiment of Lefauve…
We study the turbulent flow of the density-stratified fluid around a small translating (either passively or self-propelled) particle. It was found recently [A. M. Ardekani and R. Stocker, Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 105, 084502 (2010)] that…
