undercut by a thin channel of irrotational flow. Here, a simple analysis is able to reproduce many of the complex features of turbulent mixing (J. Fluid Mech.485: 143-159 (2003).

As they mix, momentum differences are smoothed out. This process is superficially similar to the action of viscosity which tends to smooth out momentum gradients by molecular interactions, and ...

because turbulence is a very effective mixing process. More importantly, turbulent transport of momentum is very effective at replenishing the near-wall momentum. So when a turbulent boundary layer ...

There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing.

Turbulent mixing in the cold tongue near the ocean surface has recently been found to be strongly modulated by TIWs. TIWs are much more prevalent during La Niña conditions when the cold tongue is more ...

“Turbulence was and still is an unsolved problem ... “The simulation they are running is a fluid simulation of two different ...
