요약Early attempts to parameterize turbulent mixing in a stably stratified fluid, a prerequisite for accurate global-scale numerical simulations of atmosphere-ocean dynamics, were met with optimism due to the organizing influence of the restoring buoyancy force on turbulent motions. It has long since been recognized that rather than clarifying the complicated picture presented by turbulent flows, stable stratification adds new complexities, which in part, is manifested by the increased number of nondimensional parameters governing the physics. Further complicating the picture is the realization that these "independent" parameters are in fact often correlated and possibly dependent on each other. The present dissertation seeks to contribute to the broader understanding of stratified turbulence by probing high fidelity numerical simulations of idealized problems, isolating specific processes present in geophysical systems.We first investigate the problem of shear-free turbulent entrainment and mixing at a stable density interface. While ubiquitous in geophysical systems, background shear introduces an additional parameter, and so it is natural to begin with the "simpler" shear-free problem. The simulations are reminiscent of oscillating grid turbulence (OGT) experiments popular in the latter half of the twentieth century. The hallmark feature of (statistically stationary) OGT is self-similarity of the turbulence velocity and length scale. Intuitively, the presence of a stable density interface disrupts the self-similarity, but we find that a simple re-scaling based on a local coordinate defined in terms of a turbulent Froude number locally collapses the data, defining a new (local) self-similar region.The presence of internal gravity waves trapped at the density interface makes a detailed analysis of turbulence dynamics near the interface challenging. We introduce length and velocity scale definitions based on a cutoff Froude number of order unity with which the turbulence can be characterized throughout the simulation domain (even in regions of significant wave motion). We discover that as the density interface is approached the buoyancy Reynolds number scales with the turbulent Froude number to the ten-thirds power suggesting the formal limit required by the strongly-stratified turbulence theory (small Froude number and large buoyancy Reynolds number) is inaccessible to such systems. It is an open question whether such a regime is accessible in other systems, but apparently (and perhaps intuitively), externally forced turbulent diffusion is fundamentally ill-suited to access such regimes.To analyze interfacial turbulence dynamics, beyond a gross velocity and length scale characterization, a detailed accounting of wave-motions and turbulent fluctuations must be obtained. We propose a wave-turbulence decomposition based on the linearized equations which allows us to cleanly separate interfacial sloshing motions and turbulence. The linear equations yield two sets of inter-dependent orthogonal functions and we find that both are required to define a physically and mathematically consistent projection procedure. Once defined, we evaluate the procedure based on its correspondence to the underlying assumptions of scale-separation and linearity. A detailed accounting of the wave and turbulence energetics is conducted followed by analysis of the turbulence variance budgets.Finally, in an attempt to draw more obvious connections to the real world, we systematically introduce background shear to our forced simulations bringing together the concepts of "external" and "internal" sources of turbulent mixing introduced by Turner. We systematically move from the shear-free limit to shear-dominated. The shear-dominated regime shares many similarities to canonical stratified shear layers, whereas the intermediate regime has not been explored previously.
