The volume covers the theory of stratified flows, from basic concepts to recent developments in the area of environmental fluid mechanics. The state of art of numerical techniques suited for stratified flows is given. Results of very recent researches in the areas of environmental stratified flows are discussed with details. The topics are treated in four separate chapters. The volume gives a unified view of stratified turbulent flows, from small-scale mixing, to large-scale environmental phenomena, also including detailed discussion on interaction between turbulence and internal gravity waves. The book will serve as an important review tool for all the scientists involved in the investigation of small scale as well as geophysical stratified flows.
Stratified flows, common in environmental and geophysical applications, are char acterized by the variation of fluid density in the vertical direction that can result in qualitative and quantitative modifications of the flow patterns by buoyancy . Unstable stratification (dense water/air above light water/air) increases the ver tical mixing by generation of convective cells while stable stratification generally suppresses vertical mixing of mass and momentum. Even so, a stably stratified fluid can support internal waves, instabilities and turbulence that play a critical role in transport and mixing. The ocean is predominantly subject to stable stratification which, under exter nal excitation, supports an environment of internal waves which may then break and generate turbulence. Wind forcing, currents and convective plumes are other sources of turbulence in the ocean. In the ocean, stratified turbulence mediates the upward transport of bottom water, nutrients, chemical and biological species, and pollutants. In the atmosphere, stratification affects the transport of pollutants released at ground level, a critical problem being the thermal inversion in urban areas that causes the stagnation of pollutants and small particulate (PM2.5 to PMIO) in the lower part of the atmospheric boundary layer. In buildings, strat ification governs the circulation of air and heat in natural ventilation systems.
