AM Seminar: In Search of Stratified Turbulence
Presenter: Colm-cille Patrick Caulfield, Professor, DAMTP, University of Cambridge Description: Statically stable density stratification is ubiquitous in geophysical flows, with the atmosphere, lakes and oceans all typically having an average density distribution that decreases upwards in a gravitational field. Due to the associated stabilising effect of the buoyancy force, it would seem intuitive that such […]
