The structure and dynamics of overturns in stably stratified homogeneous turbulence
Direct numerical simulations of stably stratified homogeneous turbulence, with and without mean shear, are used to investigate the three-dimensional structure, evolution and energetic significance of density overturns. Although the flow conditions are idealized, examination of the full-field simulation data provides insight into flow energetics and mixing which may assist in the interpretation ...
متن کاملAn Analytical Approach to the Effect of Viscous Dissipation on Shear-Driven Flow between two parallel plates with Constant Heat Flux Boundary Conditions
An investigation has been made to analyze the effects of viscous dissipation on the heat transfer characteristics for both hydro-dynamically and thermally fully developed, laminar shear driven flow between two infinitely long parallel plates, where the upper plate is moving in an axial direction at a constant speed. On the basis of some routine assumptions made in the literature, a close form a...
متن کاملBoundary mixing by density overturns in an internal tidal beam
[1] A numerical study based on large eddy simulation (LES) is performed to investigate near‐bottom mixing processes in an internal wave beam over a critical slope. Transition to turbulence from an initial laminar state is followed by mixing events that occur at specific phases. Maximum turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate are found just after the zero velocity point when flow reverses ...
متن کاملA Spatial Cluster Analysis of Tractor Overturns in Kentucky from 1960 to 2002
BACKGROUND Agricultural tractor overturns without rollover protective structures are the leading cause of farm fatalities in the United States. To our knowledge, no studies have incorporated the spatial scan statistic in identifying high-risk areas for tractor overturns. The aim of this study was to determine whether tractor overturns cluster in certain parts of Kentucky and identify factors as...
متن کاملTidal flow over topography: effect of excursion number on wave energetics and turbulence
The excursion number, Ex = U0/Ωl, is a parameter that characterizes the ratio of streamwise fluid advection during a tidal oscillation of amplitude U0 and frequency Ω to the streamwise topographic length scale l. Direct numerical simulations are performed to study how internal gravity waves and turbulence change when Ex is varied from a low value (typical of a ridge in the deep ocean) to a valu...
