Short-wave vortex instabilities in stratified flow
Bovard, Luke (University of Waterloo, 2013-12-17)Density stratification is one of the essential underlying physical mechanisms for atmospheric and oceanic flow. As a first step to investigating the mechanisms of stratified turbulence, linear stability plays a critical ... -
Short-wave vortex instability in stratified flow
Bovard, Luke; Waite, Michael L (Elsevier, 2016-01)In this paper we investigate a new instability of the Lamb–Chaplygin dipole in a stratified fluid. Through numerical linear stability analysis, a secondary peak in the growth rate emerges at vertical scales about an order ...
