Abstract

  • In nature, there exist innumerable flows with varying density, known as stratified flows.

  • The density variation is caused by salt content or temperature variation.

  • Submersibles in stratified flows approximated by spheroid.

  • Fluid parcels perturbed from their neutral position gain potential energy, which becomes kinetic energy. Inherent oscillation is Brunt-Väisälä frequency.

  • Stratification affects the flow structures and forces on bodies.
