Energetics and mixing in stratified turbulent flows
Turbulent mixing has an important influence on many physical processes in the ocean. For example, the upwelling of water through the stably stratified ocean interior, needed to close the global circulation, is only possible through the enhanced vertical mixing resulting from turbulence. The …

Mixing in stably stratified turbulent flows: improved parameterizations of diapycnal mixing in oceanic flows
… phenomenon in both natural and engineered flows. Fundamental understanding and quantitative prediction of turbulent mixing in stratified flows is a challenging problem, with a broad range of applications including (but not limited to) prediction of climate, ocean thermohaline circulation, …

The geometry of mixing in stratified flows: theory, experiments, observations and simulations
The world's oceans are stably stratified in density. They are also often turbulent. Turbulence, which stirs reversibly the oceans on relatively large scales, can enhance the rate at which parcels with different densities irreversibly mix. Mixing is a process that happens on (very) small scales but …

Study of the role of differential diffusion and equation of state on the features of stably stratified turbulent channel flow using direct numerical simulations
Stably stratified turbulent flows are observed in many systems, ranging from engineering applications to environmental flows. The density variation in such flows, particularly that observed in water bodies depends on temperature and salinity (salt content) through an equation of state (EoS). The …
