Evolution and mixing of asymmetric Holmboe instabilities

When a stably stratified density interface is embedded in a region of strong velocity shear, hydrodynamic instabilities result. These instabilities lead to the development of a turbulent flow in which vertical mixing of the density field takes place. Much previous research in the field of stratif...
