Three Dimensional Structure and Flux of Salt Fingers in an Unbounded Gradient Region

9726584 Stern项目是在垂直温度和盐度梯度均匀的无界区域内进行盐指的有限振幅数值计算。研究将首先集中在绝对温盐不稳定性附近的渐近状态。它的目的是获得均方根T-S波动的预测，这在未来的糖盐实验中是可检验的。对遍历问题的一些见解可以从更简单的二维小的情况中得到。

9726584 Stern The project is to conduct finite-amplitude numerical calculations of salt fingers in an unbounded domain with uniform vertical temperature and salinity gradient. The research will focus initially on an asymptotic state in the vicinity of absolute thermohaline instability. It is intended to obtain predictions for the rms T-S fluctuations, which are testable in future sugar-salt experiments. Some insight into the ergodic question might be obtained from the simpler two-dimensional small epsilon case.
