Turbulent thermohaline hydraulic jumps
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2021
Abstract
Turbulent entrainment properties of thermohaline internal hydraulic jumps in quiescent ambient water are investigated. Underflow and overflow jumps are considered. The study is mainly concerned with thermohaline buoyancy effects on flow development. The thermohaline buoyancy is determined from a seawater equation of state, which is nonlinear in temperature and linear in salinity, and is accurate throughout the range of temperature and salinity of interest (T = 0 to 40 °C and S = 0 to 40 ppt). The results indicate that thermohaline buoyancy produces smaller less diluted underflow jumps and larger more diluted overflow jumps. These nonlinear buoyancy effects are particularly significant when buoyancy arising from temperature and salinity act in opposite directions. Hydraulic controls by vertical and/or horizontal constrictions downstream reveal, using a matching technique, unique stationary miscible jump solutions.
