Phenomenology of buoyancy-driven turbulence: recent results

In this paper, we describe the recent developments in the field of buoyancy-driven turbulence with a focus on energy spectrum and flux. Scaling and numerical arguments show that the stably-stratified turbulence with moderate stratification has kinetic energy spectrum ${E}_{u}(k)\sim {k}^{-11/5}$ and...
