Scaling analysis and simulation of strongly stratified turbulent flows (2007, methodology): “The cascade of energy from large to small scales in stably stratified flows has now been confirmed by many independent studies (Lindborg 2002, 2006; Riley & deBruynKops 2003; Waite & Bartello 2004, 2006; Kitamura & Matsuda 2006).”
Stratified turbulence dominated by vortical motion (2004, background): “…pancake-shaped vortices have been observed in numerical simulations (e.g. Herring & Métais 1989; Kimura & Herring 1996; Godeferd & Staquet 2003; Riley & deBruynKops 2003) as well as laboratory experiments (e.g. Thoroddsen & Atta 1992; Fincham, Maxworthy & Spedding 1996; Billant & Chomaz 2000).”
The energy cascade in a strongly stratified fluid (2006, background): “Riley & deBruynKops (2003) observed that such instabilities occur even in strongly stratified flows if the Reynolds number is sufficiently high.”
Stratified Turbulence: A Possible Interpretation of Some Geophysical Turbulence Measurements (2007, methodology): “Reproduced with written permission from Ewart (1976). quasi-horizontal meandering motions, and for large enough Reynolds numbers, possess a strong downscale cascade of energy and the development of inertial ranges in horizontal spectra (Riley and deBruynKops 2003; Lindborg 2005, 2006).”
