Abstract:
We investigate unstably stratified homogeneous turbulence through direct numerical simulation and a spectral model based on a eddy-damped quasi-normal Markovian closure. In this study, we take into account and evaluate the importance of an unsteady buoyancy frequency expressing the evolution of a mixing zone submitted to Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
