Transition from deep to shallow water layer : formation of vortex dipoles

In this paper we study the transition from a deep to a shallow water layer and the formation of quasi-two-dimensional vortex dynamics. Vortices are experimentally generated by a circular (...)

The structure and dynamics of dipolar vortices in a stratified fluid

The three-dimensional structure and decay of a dipolar vortex in a linearly stratified fluid is investigated experimentally using a high-resolution three-dimensional scanning correlation image (...)

Decaying grid turbulence in a strongly stratified fluid

Grid turbulence experiments have been carried out in a stably stratified fluid at moderately large Reynolds numbers (160 based on the Taylor microscale). A scanning particle image velocimetry (...)
