Effects of Buoyancy on Fluid Flows and Turbulence

Abstract

The main thrust of our studies has been focused on studying the effects of buoyancy on fluid flows and turbulence, having direct significance to geophysical flows, in particular keeping in mind the effects on the mixing of scalars, such as salinity and temperature.
