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).

Entrainment and mixed layer dynamics of a surface-stress-driven stratiified fluid

Quantifying vertical mixing in estuaries
(Springer, 2008-10-21)Estuarine turbulence is notable in that both the dissipation rate and the buoyancy frequency extend to much higher values than in other natural environments. The high dissipation rates lead to a distinct inertial subrange ... -
