Stratified Flows Due to Spatial Inhomogeneities of Exchange Coefficients
2022
Overview
AbstractAttention is drawn to the unexplored mechanism of generation of density currents in stratified media. Horizontal inhomogeneities of the exchange coefficients in a stratified medium lead to inhomogeneities of the vertical diffusion flow of buoyancy and its horizontal distribution and, consequently, to the emergence of horizontal inhomogeneities of hydrostatic pressure and the generation of currents. The appearance of ordered flows in a temperature (density) stratified turbulent medium in a gravity field near an inclined surface is considered as an example. This is due to the existence of a region of weakened turbulent exchange near the solid surface. In this case, horizontal components of the temperature, density and, consequently, pressure gradients appear near the inclined surface. This, in turn, leads to the emergence of an average (nonturbulent) slope current even in the absence of heat and momentum sources/sinks.
