Title

Wall-bounded stratified turbulence

Abstract

In this talk, I will focus on the problem of thermally-stratified flows in wall-bounded turbulence. The interaction between turbulence and thermal stratification induces remarkable modifications on the flow field, which in turn influences the overall transfer rates of mass, momentum and heat. The discussion will spin around recent results obtained by a systematic campaign of Direct Numerical Simulations of stratified turbulence at moderately large Reynolds number. The influence of stratified turbulence on the dispersion of semi-neutrally-buoyant particles will be also discussed.
