Localized layers of turbulence in stratified horizontally sheared Poiseuille flow
Localized layers of turbulence in stratified horizontally sheared Poiseuille flow
This paper presents a numerical analysis of the instability developing in horizontally sheared Poiseuille flow, when stratification extends along the vertical direction. Our study builds on the previous work that originally detected the linear instability of such a configuration, by means of experiments, theoretical analysis and numerical simulations (Le Gal …
