Abstract

Numerical modeling of the dynamics of the homogeneous turbulence of a steadily stratified liquid has been accomplished in the presence of vertical constant density gradient on the basis of a

second-order model, right up to the final stage of degeneration. The structure of relict turbulence has been investigated for values of the molecular Prandtl numbers corresponding to air and a sea wave.
