1 Grid-generated turbulence, drag, internal waves and mixing in stratified fluids Not all mixing is the same! Stuart Dalziel, Roland Higginson* & Joanne Holford Introduction DAMTP, University of Cambridge *Now at USC Numerical models are not yet very good at this. Experiments leave many open questions. MOLECULAR DIFFUSION Essential for mixing at a molecular level Advection/diffusion of scalar S S 2 t + u. S = κ For heat (air) κ ~ 10 5 m 2 s 1 ν/κ ~ 0.7 heat (water) κ ~ 10 7 m 2 s 1 ν/κ ~ 7 salt κ ~ 10 9 m 2 s 1 ν/κ ~ 600 Diffusion slow: t ~ l 2 /κ Sc = ν/κ density diffusion slower than momentum at Kolmogorov scale Stuart Dalziel 1 Euromech 428, Torino, September 2001 S
2 Mixing = Stirring + Diffusion Stirring: intermingles fluid parcels of different properties and produces large gradients in those properties Diffusion: drives a flux that reduces gradients between adjacent fluid parcels Diffusion may be slow, but it need only act over small distances. Source of energy Stirring Turbulence Stratification Internal waves Nonlinearities + Advection Dissipation Molecular diffusion Gradients at small scales Mixing ENERGY BUDGET d dt ( PE + KE) = W D Total Work Dissipation Energy Can decompose PE into Background PE and Available PE. Stuart Dalziel 2 Euromech 428, Torino, September 2001
3 + + PE back PE avail KE! E back "" ""! E avail Lorenz (1955), Thorpe (1977), Winters et al. (1995) [For compressible fluid need to include internal energy] PE back is the minimum energy state that is achieved by adiabatic rearrangement of fluid parcels. Mixing increases PE back it cannot decrease it! PE avail is the component of PE that can be converted into KE, heat (through dissipation) and, if mixing occurs, into PE back. In the absence of external work: Stuart Dalziel 3 Euromech 428, Torino, September 2001

26 Conclusions Drag on grid increased due to direct generation of internal waves. Model for additional drag Model for internal waves Mixing efficiency for vertically towed grid does not decrease at high stabilities Greater contribution to internal wave drag Ignoring wave drag leads to continued increase in η Added mass contribution always raising fluid elements Static instability very efficient Density contributes to growth of fine scales Numerics over-predict mixing efficiency It matters how you get the energy to small scales and whether the density helps or hinders this process.
