BOTTOM DENSITY CURRENTS • In case of free surface discharge, a stratified flow develops. • Anyway the discharge is done, brine sinks toward the bottom and brine travels downslope, following bottom bathymetry, as a stratified flow. • In a stratified flow, dilution is achieved with three mechanisms: molecular diffusion (very slow), dispersion by external forces (such as currents or tides, not always guaranteed) and turbulent mixing. • Kelvin-Helmholtz billows COURSE B – SECTION 10 – SLIDE 09
BOTTOM DENSITY CURRENTS • K-H billows develop when • In a stratified flow over the bottom of the sea, the thickness of layer mixed is • Mixing in negatively buoyant stratified flows happens if the velocity gradient is large (that is if the bottom is enough inclined) or nearto local bottom irregularities; after this mixing, there is another stratified flow, less dense, to be mixed.
