Instability in homogeneous and density stratified shear flows may be interpreted in terms of
the interaction of two (or more) otherwise free waves in the velocity and density profiles …

In this study, we presented the problem formulations of models for internal solitary waves in
a stratified shear flow with a free surface. The nonlinear higher order of extended KdV …

The problem formulations of models for internal solitary waves in a stratified shear flow with
a free surface are presented. Solitary waves solutions are generated by deriving the …

In a stably stratified shear layer, multiple competing instabilities produce sensitivity to small
changes in initial conditions, popularly called the butterfly effect (as a flapping wing may …

Motivated by the importance of diapycnal mixing parameterizations in large-scale ocean
general circulation models, we provide a detailed analysis of high-Reynolds-number mixing …

A crucial region of the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) is the strongly sheared and
strongly stratified transition layer (TL) separating the mixed layer from the upper pycnocline …

Most idealized studies of stratified shear instabilities assume that the shear interface and the
buoyancy interface are coincident. We discuss the role of asymmetry on the evolution of …

In low winds (≲ 2 ms− 1), diurnal warm layers form, but shear in the near-surface jet is too
weak to generate shear instability and mixing. In high winds (≳ 8 ms− 1), surface heat is …

The mixing properties of statically stable density interfaces subject to imposed vertical shear
are studied using direct numerical simulations of stratified plane Couette flow. The …

The problem of internal gravity waves fields in a stratified medium of finite depth is
considered for model distributions of background shear currents. For the analytical solution …
