Short-wave vortex instabilities in stratified flow
(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 ... -
Simulation of the Navier-Stokes Equations in Three Dimensions with a Spectral Collocation Method
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-13)This work develops a nonlinear, three-dimensional spectral collocation method for the simulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for geophysical and environmental flows. These flows are often driven by the ...
