Turbulence; Shear flowAbstract
Our thanks go to Martin Landahl for his stimulating expository
lectures on recent development in "lab scale" turbulent flow. This
subject was covered by him and other staff members from the experimental,
analytic, and numerical point of view. The seminars on two-dimensional
coherent structures provided a nice connecting link for subsequent
lectures on large scale ocean eddy dynamics (e.g. warm core rings
detaching from the Gulf Stream).

Rapid mixed layer depening by the combination of Langmuir and shear instabilities : a case study
(American Meteorological Society, 2010-11)Langmuir circulation (LC) is a turbulent upper-ocean process driven by wind and surface waves that contributes significantly to the transport of momentum, heat, and mass in the oceanic surface layer. The authors have ... -
Mixing by shear instability at high Reynolds number
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-11-25)Shear instability is the dominant mechanism for converting fluid motion to mixing in the stratified ocean and atmosphere. The transition to turbulence has been well characterized in laboratory settings and numerical ... -
Double diffusion, shear instabilities, and heat impacts of a pacific summer water intrusion in the Beaufort Sea
