  • Turbulence in sheared, salt-fingering favorable environment

    Creator:
    Kimura, Satoshi
    Abstract:
    Instability and turbulence in sheared, salt-fingering favorable stratification are studied using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS). Salt-fingering favorable stratification is gravitationally stable, because the unstable vertical gradient of salinity is stabilized by temperature (warm, salty over cool, fresh water-masses). Salt-fingering instability can occur at the interface of these different water-masses....
