Abstract
The motion of real fluids is associated with an energy loss, i.e. — as far as turbulent flow is concerned — with a production of turbulent kinetic energy, which in a homogeneous flow is dissipated into heat. In a stratified flow, part of this turbulent kinetic energy is used to mix the flowing water with the ambient water. Let us briefly illustrate this mixing process in a dense bottom current, see Fig. 4.1
