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

小行星9726584 该项目是对具有均匀垂直温度和盐度梯度的无界区域内的盐指进行有限振幅数值计算。 研究将首先集中在绝对温盐不稳定性附近的渐近状态。它的目的是获得预测的均方根T-S波动，这是在未来的糖盐实验测试。 从更简单的二维小扰动情形中，可以得到对遍历问题的一些了解。

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.
