Abstract
When the end of a long closed horizontal tube containing a stratified fluid is raised, a laminar accelerating flow begins. The flow is two-dimensional in the central portion of the tube, and, in this region, it is predictable, at least until the onset of instability. The occurrence of instability, its nature, and the subsequent transition to turbulence, are described qualitatively. The apparatus may be used for the study of a variety of other internal hydraulic phenomena with applications to meteorology and oceanography.
