Brandt and Nomura, JFM (2007): stratification upto Fr=2, Boussinesq
Stratification aids merger at Re > 2000
At lower diffusivities, larger stratifications?
Large scale overturning: a separate story
Why does the breakdown happen?

Re = 8000, Pe = 80000, rho1 = 0.9, rho2 = 1.1 (tanh interface), Circulation=0.8, thickness of the interface = 0.02, rc = 0.1, time = 2.5, N=1024 points
Initial condition: Gaussian vortex at a tanh interface
Conclusions:
Co-existing instabilities: `forward cascade’unstable wins
Beware of Boussinesq, even at small A
What does this do to 2D turbulence?
Reynolds number: Inertial / Viscous forces
For inviscid flow, no diffusion of density, Re, Pe infinite

Background literature:
Studying discontinuities of vorticity / densities or any passive scalar was initiated by Saffman who studies a random distribution of vortices as a model for 2D turbulence and predicted a k-4 spectrum
Bassom and Gilbert (JFM, 1988) studied spiral structures of vorticity and predicted that the spectrum lies between k-3 and k-4
Pullin, Buntine and Saffman (Phys. Fluid, 1994) verify the Lundgren’s model of turbulence based on vorticity spiral
Batchelor (JFM, 1956) argued that at very large Reynolds number, the vorticity field inside closed streamlines evolves towards a constant value.
Rhines and Young (JFM, 1983) showed that any sharp gradients of a passive scalar will be homogenized at Pe1/3
Bajer et al. (JFM, 2001) showed that the same holds true for the vorticity field, viz. thomo ~ Re1/3
Flohr and Vassilicos (JFM, 1997) showed that a spiral structure unique among the range of vorticity distribution. Closed spaced spiral lead to an accelerated diffusion
