Energy Release Through Internal Wave Breaking [PDF]
The sun inputs huge amounts of heat to the ocean, heat that would stay near the ocean's surface if it were not mechanically mixed into the deep. Warm water is less dense than cold water, so that heated surface waters "float" on top of the cold deep ...

Diapycnal Mixing Induced by Rough Small‐Scale Bathymetry
Diapycnal mixing impacts vertical transport rates of salt, heat, and other dissolved substances, essential for the overturning circulation and ecosystem functioning in marine systems.

On the Lateral Entrainment Instability in the Inner Core Region of Tropical Cyclones
Entrainment of dry moat air with low equivalent potential temperature laterally into the eyewall and rainbands is a unique turbulent process in the inner‐core region of a tropical cyclone (TC).

The lateral bathymetry in the estuary results in different degrees of tidal mixing asymmetry, which has significant impacts on the longitudinal sediment transport by changing the temporal variation of vertical eddy diffusion.

Transport, mixing and agglomeration of particles in turbulent flows
This paper describes methods and approaches that have been used to simulate and model the transport, mixing and agglomeration of small particles in a flowing turbulent gas. The transported particles because of their inertia are assumed not to follow the motion of the large scales of the turbulence and or the motion of the small dissipating scales of ...

The thermal structure of tropical reef systems is shaped by air-sea interactions, turbulent mixing, and subsurface-driven processes, yet their complex dynamics and interactions are not well understood.

Energy transport characteristics of converging Richtmyer–Meshkov instability
In this paper, the Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instability in spherical and cylindrical converging geometries with a Mach number of about 1.5 is investigated by using the direct numerical simulation method.

The balances of mixing ratios and segregation intensity: a case study from the field (ECHO 2003) [PDF]
An inhomogeneous mixing of reactants causes a reduction of their chemical removal compared to the homogeneously mixed case in turbulent atmospheric flows. This can be described by the intensity of segregation IS being the covariance of the mixing
