Steady-state interfacial shear flows are generated in a laboratory water channel for layer Richardson numbers, Ri, between about 1 and 10. The flow field is made optically homogeneous, enabling the use of laser-induced fluorescence with photodiode array imaging to measure the concentration field at high resolution. False-colour images of the concentration field provide valuable insight into interfacial dynamics: when the local mean shear Richardson number, Ri_s, is less than about 0.40\u20130.45, interfacial mixing appears to be dominated by Kelvin\u2013Helmholtz (K\u2013H) instabilities; when Ri_s is somewhat larger than this, interfacial mixing appears to be dominated by shear-driven wave breaking. In both cases, vertical transport of mixed fluid from the interfacial region into adjacent turbulent layers is accomplished by large-scale turbulent eddies which impinge on the interface and scour fluid from its outer edges. \n\nMotivated by the experimental findings, a model for interfacial mixing and entrainment is developed. A local equilibrium is assumed in which the rate of loss of interfacial fluid by eddy scouring is balanced by the rate of production (local mixing) by interfacial instabilities and molecular diffusion. When a single layer is turbulent and entraining, the model results are as follows: in the molecular-diffusion-dominated regime, \u03b4/h ~ Pe^(\u22121/2) and E ~ Ri^(\u22121)Pe^(\u22121/2); in the wave-breaking-dominated regime, \u03b4/h ~ Ri^(\u22121/2) and E ~ Ri^(\u22123/2); and in the K\u2013H-dominated regime, \u03b4/h ~ Ri^(\u22121) and E ~ Ri^(\u22122), where \u03b4 is the interface thickness, h is the boundary-layer thickness, Pe is the P\u00e9clet number, and E is the normalized entrainment velocity. In all three regimes, the maximum concentration anomaly, \u0393_m ~ Ri^(\u22121). When both layers are turbulent and entraining, E and \u03b4 depend on combinations of parameters from both layers.", "doi": "10.1017/S0022112094001916", "issn": "0022-1120", "publisher": "Cambridge University Press", "publication": "Journal of Fluid Mechanics", "publication_date": "1994-08", "volume": "273", "pages": "213-239" }, { "id": "authors:q84vj-b2k96", "collection": "authors", "collection_id": "q84vj-b2k96", "cite_using_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20160418-152805105", "type": "article", "title": "Large-scale structure in the far field of buoyant jets", "author": [ { "family_name": "Papantoniou", "given_name": "Dimitris", "clpid": "Papantoniou-D-A" }, { "family_name": "List", "given_name": "E.

A large number of essentially instantaneous tracer concentration profiles were recorded for each experimental run by combining LIF with linear photodiode array imaging and high-speed digital data acquisition. Analysis of the resulting high-resolution flow images indicates that the far-field region is dominated by the periodic passage of structures spanning the entire radial flow extent. Ambient fluid is entrained by vortical motions and is transported to regions deep into the flow interior. Correlation analysis discloses that the passage frequency of the structures scales with the local mean velocity and flow width. Conditional averaging of the data indicates that the downstream frontal region of the structure is well mixed and at higher concentration level than the back and side regions where ambient fluid is intermittently present. This results in an axial concentration gradient within the structure, analogous to the ramp-like pattern previously observed in heated air jets. In comparison to the momentum-driven flow the ambient fluid presence in the flow interior is greatly increased when body forces are the driving mechanism. This appears to result from the influence of buoyancy forces in the production of turbulent vortices at the integral scale. An important feature of both the momentum-driven and buoyancy-driven flows investigated is the strongly intermittent character of the concentration field. This raises the issue of the appropriateness of gradient-diffusion theories for the description of such flows.", "doi": "10.1017/S002211208900306X", "issn": "0022-1120", "publisher": "Cambridge University Press", "publication": "Journal of Fluid Mechanics", "publication_date": "1989-12", "volume": "209", "pages": "151-190" }, { "id": "authors:k4bya-erm31", "collection": "authors", "collection_id": "k4bya-erm31", "cite_using_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20160418-152319876", "type": "article", "title": "Investigations of round vertical turbulent buoyant jets", "author": [ { "family_name": "Papanicolaou", "given_name": "Panos N.", "clpid": "Papanicolaou-P-N" }, { "family_name": "List", "given_name": "E.

These non-intrusive techniques enable measurements in a region of plume motion where conventional probe-based techniques have had difficulties. The results of the study show that the asymptotic decay laws for velocity and concentration of a tracer transported by the flow are verified experimentally in both jets and plumes. The momentum and volume fluxes and the mean dilution factor are determined in dimensionless form as a function of the normalized distance from the flow source. Contradictory results from earlier experimental plume investigations concerning the decay laws of w and c and the plume width ratio b_c/b_w are discussed. The turbulence properties and the transition from momentum-driven jets to buoyancy-driven plumes are presented. The turbulence is found to scale with the mean flow as predicted by dimensional analysis and self-similarity. Buoyancy-produced turbulence is found to transport twice as much tracer as jet turbulence. Although velocity statistics in jets and plumes are found to be highly self-similar there is a strong disparity in the distribution of tracer concentration in the two flows. This occurs in the time-average mean flows as well as the r.m.s. turbulent quantities. Instantaneous concentration fluctuations are found to exceed time averages by as much as a factor of 3.

A linear photodiode array was used in conjunction with laser-induced fluorescence to measure the concentration of dye that was initially only in the less dense layer. A laser-Doppler velocimeter was used to measure the vertical velocity in and above the density interface at a point where the dye concentration was also measured. Potential refractive-index-fluctuation problems were avoided using solutes that provided a homogeneous optical environment across the density interface. Internal wave spectra, amplitudes and velocities, as well as the vertical mass flux were measured. The results indicate that mixing occurs in intermittent bursts and that the gradient (local) Richardson number remains constant for a certain range of the overall Richardson number R_j, defined in terms of an integral lengthscale, buoyancy jump and turbulence intensity. The spectra of the internal waves decay as f^(\u22123) at frequencies below the maximum Brunt-V\u00e4is\u00e4l\u00e4 frequency. These findings give support to a model for oceanic mixing proposed by Phillips (1977) in which the internal waves are limited in their spectral density by sporadic local instabilities and breakdown to turbulence. The results also indicate that, for a certain R_j range, the thickness of the interfacial layer (normalized by the integral lengthscale of the turbulence) is a decreasing function of R_j. At sufficiently high R_j the interfacial thickness becomes limited by diffusive effects.

Amplification of the horizontal turbulent velocity, coupled with a sharp reduction in the vertical turbulent velocity, was observed near both the density interface and the flat plate. These findings are in agreement with some previous results pertaining to shear-free turbulence near rigid walls (Hunt & Graham 1978) and near density interfaces (Long 1978).

The three-dimensional horizontal jet has no return flow at finite distance and the diffusive contribution is found to be almost negligible in most situations, the primary character of the horizontal flows being given by the non-diffusive solution. Stokes's paradox is found to be non-existent in a density-stratified fluid.", "doi": "10.1017/S0022112071000193", "issn": "0022-1120", "publisher": "Cambridge University Press", "publication": "Journal of Fluid Mechanics", "publication_date": "1971-02", "series_number": "3", "volume": "45", "issue": "3", "pages": "561-574" }, { "id": "authors:rb24a-ez081", "collection": "authors", "collection_id": "rb24a-ez081", "cite_using_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20160418-124620937", "type": "article", "title": "An exact solution for a diffusive flow in a porous medium", "author": [ { "family_name": "List", "given_name": "E.
