Overview

Context

This Ocean Mixing Parameterisation via Categorisation of Nonlinear Flow Structures - Project 1- Mathematical Model Development at University of Dundee will investigate the fidelity of the categorisation scheme, taking it beyond the simplified flows considered in Dr Eaves’ initial study. We will investigate to what extent the linear and nonlinear categorisation algorithms agree with one another (a prediction at one time about what is about to happen should agree with a prediction at some later time about what just occurred), in addition to probing the mathematics underlying the categorisation schemes to build and interrogate nonlinear flow structures associated with stratified shear flows.

Programme Structure

We will make use of a number of computational techniques, including direct numerical simulation of stratified shear flows, an asymptotic high-Reynolds-number contour dynamics model developed by Dr Anirban Guha, and computation of families of exact coherent structures.
Dr Guha’s asymptotic model will be compared against the direct numerical simulation results and a suite of parametric experiments led by Dr Alan Cuthbertson (see Project 2) , and then used as a starting point for computing families of nonlinear exact coherent flow structures which emerge from the equations of stratified shear flow.
