Growth Due to Buoyancy of Weak Homogeneous Turbulence with Shear
Preview available
An analysis is made to determine how the energy in a weak homogeneous turbulence with buoyancy and shear changes with time. It is shown that, although the turbulence ultimately decays when buoyancy is absent, the presence of buoyancy counteracts the decay, and the turbulent energy grows at large times.
