Mixing effect in a stratified fluid is considered and examined. Euler equations for incompressible fluid stratified by a gravity field are applied to state a mathematical problem and describe the effect. It is found out that a system of Euler equations is not enough for a formulation of correct generalized problem. Some complementary relations are suggested and justified. A numerical method is developed and applied for study of processes of vortex destruction and mixing progress in a stratified fluid. The dependence of vortex destruction on a stratification scale is investigated numerically and it is shown that the effect increases with the stratification scale. It is observed that the effect of vortex destruction is absent when the fluid density is constant. Some simple mathematical explanation of the effect is suggested.
