The Role of Scale in the Development and Evolution of Stratified Shear Turbulence, Entrainment and Mixing-Expansion
Abstract
The objective of this effort is to improve methods to relate fundamental turbulent quantities suchas entrainment and buoyancy flux in stratified-shear turbulence, and to better understandprocesses affecting turbulent structure and entrainment across a wide range of Reynolds number,Re, parameter space. We expect that the bulk Richardson number, RiB, alone cannot adequatelydescribe stratified-shear turbulence, but that energetic and physical scales represented by Re arecritically important. This new proposal is being submitted to provide additional funding for the recentlyfunded ONR project N00014-15-1-2456. The original proposal was approved forfunding at an amount of $155,121, but an award of only $114,003 was made in May 2015due to human error when filing the original budget request.
