About this document
Buoyancy Frequency Derivation and Analysis by dist2235 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) The document derives the equation of motion for a fluid parcel displaced vertically in a stratified fluid. The buoyancy frequency, N, is defined based on how the density varies with height. 2) For stable stratification where lighter fluid is above heavier fluid, N is real and the parcel oscillates vertically at the buoyancy frequency. 3) For unstable stratification where heavier fluid is above lighter fluid, N is imaginary and the parcel
