An experimental study on mixing induced by gravity currents on a sloping bottom in a rotating fluid
… was studied through laboratory experiments in a rotating fluid. The dense fluid on the sloping bottom formed a gravity current that could be in regimes where the flow was laminar or had waves. The mixing on a sloping bottom for gravity currents in the laminar and wave regimes was studied both …

The dynamics of unsteady strait and sill flow
The dynamics of steady and unsteady channel flow over large obstacles is studied analytically and numerically in an attempt to determine the applicability of classical hydraulic concepts to such flows. The study is motivated by a need to understand the influence of deep ocean straits and sills on …

A laboratory study of localized boundary mixing in a rotating stratified fluid
… that abyssal mixing is localized in regions of rough topography. How locally mixed fluid interacts with the ambient fluid is an open question. Laboratory experiments explore the interaction of mechanically induced boundary mixing and an interior body of linearly stratified rotating fluid. A …

Quasigeostrophic flows and turbulence in a rotating homogeneous fluid
… from numerical modelling, a laboratory study of quasigeostrophic flow and turbulence in a rotating homogeneous fluid has been undertaken. Two dimensional turbulence driven by a uniform distribution of sources and sinks which oscillate in time, can be fairly well reproduced in this context. …

Rotating convection driven by differential bottom heating and its application
A convection experiment was done with a rotating rectangular tank as a model of oceanic meridional overturning circulation. Heat flux was fixed at one bottom end of the tank using an electrical heater. Temperature was fixed at the other end using a cooling plate. All other boundaries were …
