This is really not the focus of our experiments here in Grenoble, but they are too nice not to show: Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities! They showed up really nicely in our first…
Shear flow
Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in a shear flow in Elbe river. Last week I talked about how I wanted to use the “Elbe” model in teaching. Here is another idea for an exercise: On…
Internal waves in the atmosphere
A photo of internal waves in the atmosphere. Internal waves exist on the interface between fluids of different densities. In the ocean they are mostly observed through their surface imprint.…
