Turbulence in Stratified Flow and Ocean Physics
Abstract
The development of a continuous return stratified flow water tunnel is described, and the major problems are discussed. The goal of this effort is to provide a facility for studying flows with important buoyancy effects occurring in undersea applications and, in many cases, also of importance in fundamental oceanographic problems. The capabilities of the UCSD stratified water tunnel are ideal for investigation of flows with both variable density and velocity profiles.
