Resumo: |
Density currents initiate when two fluids of different densities come into contact, allowing relative movement between them. Differences in density usually are caused by temperature, salinity concentration, the presence of particles, among others.When these two fluids in addition to having different densities have different diffusive properties it is said that double diffusivity exists. This work aims at the investigation, through linear stability theory, of how the density currents instabilities that develop from particle deposition effects and double diffusivity can influence the transition to turbulence. A computer code, designed in Julia language, was initially validated with results avaiable in the literature. Subsequently, results were obtained for the two conditions cited above, they show critical values related to the particle size at which the flow is always unstable and also on the relationship of critical values between diffusive properties where double diffusivity does not interfere with instabilities development. |
