Abstract

An experimental study on wind-driven currents with recirculation and vertical mixing in two-layered, three-layered and linearly stratified fluids is described. To investigate both the horizontal and vertical density distributions, a set of 5 conductivity probes driven by a stepper-motor was used. The vertical mixing and longitudinal dispersion in mixed layer, and the small eddy and baroclinic waves in lower layer, especially in condition of linearly stratified fluids, were observed. The turbulent entrainment rates were estimated by the increase of total potential energy in the experimental tank. Entrainment coefficients are similar to currents without recirculation, and the reason for this results is discussed.
