Stratified Flow
- 1968 ----- color ----- 25 min ----- 16mm/vhs
- A stratified fluid system is one with density variations in the vertical direction, as when warm water lies above cold water or air above water or as in the oceans and atmosphere where the density variation is usually continuous. Experiments show that density variations, together with gravity, make possible forces that can generate internal waves, inhibit turbulent diffusion or create strong velocity gradients and jets. Applications in nature range from open-channel flows of water to atmospheric waves in the lee of mountain ranges.
