Abstract
A two-dimensional temporal mixing layer is generated in a stratified
tilting tank similar
to that used by Thorpe (1968). Extensive flow dynamics visualization is
carried out
using, for the top and bottom layers, fluids of different
densities but of the same index
of refraction. The two-dimensional density field is measured with the laser-induced
fluorescence technique (LIF). The study examines
further the classical problem of the
two-dimensional mixing layer and explores the effects of cross-shear on
a nominally
two-dimensional mixing layer, a situation widespread in complex industrial
and
natural flows. Cross-shear is another component of shear, in plane with
but
perpendicular to the main shear of the base flow,
generated by tilting the tank around a second axis.
