Horizontal shear instabilities in low-Froude high-Re stratified flows produce vertical shear through two distinct pathways, each leading to small-scale KH instabilities at large buoyancy Reynolds number but with different peak mixing efficiencies.

Realistic turbulent balanced flows produce an order of magnitude weaker frequency spreading of internal wave energy in two dimensions than the synthetic flows used in prior work, narrowing the 2D-3D theory discrepancy.

Two pathways to diapycnal mixing in strongly stratified flows with no initial vertical shear
Horizontal shear instabilities in low-Froude high-Re stratified flows produce vertical shear through two distinct pathways, each leading to small-scale KH instabilities at large buoyancy Reynolds number but with different peak mixing efficiencies.

Frequency spreading of internal wave energy by balanced flows in two dimensions
