A method of producing a shear flow in a stratified fluid

摘要: When the end of a long closed horizontal tube containing stratified fluid is raised, laminar accelerating flow begins. The two-dimensional in central portion tube, and, this region, it predictable, at least until onset instability. occurrence instability, its nature, and subsequent transition to turbulence, are described qualitatively. apparatus may be used for study variety other internal hydraulic phenomena with applications meteorology oceanography.
