A study of buoyancy and shear driven turbulence within a closed water channel /

We examine experimentally and describe theoretically the properties of turbulence developing from buoyancy-driven and shear-driven instabilities that can occur at the interface between two fluids. In particular, we examine those circumstances found in our experimental and numerical investigations t...
