Our numerical findings suggests that mixing efficiency of energetically turbulent flows may never become suppressed despite arbitrarily strong stratification in the Holmboe wave case. 000014615 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000014615 653__ $$a 000014615 7112_ $$a24th International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics$$cMontreal (CA)$$d2016-08-21 / 2016-08-26$$gICTAM2016 000014615 720__ $$aSalehipour, Hesam 000014615 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000014615 8564_ $$s87585$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/14615/files/TS.FM09-1.02.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on CD, page 1089, code TS.FM09-1.02 . 000014615 962__ $$r13812 000014615 980__ $$aPAPER
