Abstract

AbstractDirect numerical simulation data of a stratified turbulent Couette flow contains two types of organized structures: rolls arising at neutral and close to neutral stratifications, and layered structures which manifest themselves as static stability increases. It is shown that both types of structures have spatial scales and forms that coincide with the scales and forms of the optimal disturbances of the simplified linear model of the Couette flow with the same Richardson numbers.
