Instability Associated Baroclinic Critical Layers in Rotating Stratified Shear Flow
The notion of over-reflection has been used to rationalize the linear instability of shear flows that are directed and sheared in a horizontal plane but stratified and subject to rotation in the vertical. In the linear stability analysis of these types of flows, two types of critical levels may appear that translate to singular points in the corresponding differential eigenvalue problem. The fi...
متن کاملRadiation Instability in a Stratified Shear Flow
The paper deals with a new mechanism of instability in stratified fluid caused by internal wave radiation from a shear layer. This radiation instability may be explained in terms of the negativeenergy wave concept. These waves are able to grow due to radiation losses. The dispersion relation and non-linear stage of the process are analyzed through a model with tangential velocity discontinuity....
متن کاملShear Production and Dissipation in a Stratified Tidal Flow
The long term goal of this work is to understand the physics of turbulent stratified shear flows as might be found in coastal regions and estuaries where both shear and stratification are strong. It is our hypothesis that turbulence under these conditions of active generation may function in a way that is fundamentally different from weak turbulence below the thermocline (or above the bottom mi...
متن کاملTransient Development of Perturbations in Stratified Shear Flow
Transient development of perturbations in inviscid stratified shear flow is investigated. Use is made of closed form analytic solutions that allow concise identification of optimally growing plane-wave solutions for the case ofan unbounded flow with constant shear and stratification. For the case of channel flow, variational techniques are employed to determine the optimally growing disturbance...
متن کاملUnderstanding critical layers in stratified shear flow instabilities: A wave interaction perspective
In this paper we examine the dynamics of unstable critical layers in stratified shear flows. This is done from the framework of the wave interaction theory of shear instabilities, which views instability as arising from the mutual interaction between wave motions that are present in the background shear and density fields. By formulating a simple analytical model of the structure of vorticity w...
