Let $\mathbb{ F}_{ 2^m}$ be a finite field of cardinality $2^m$, $R=\mathbb{ F}_{ 2^m}[u]/\langle u^4\rangle)$ and $n$ is an odd positive integer. For any $\delta,\alpha\in \mathbb{ F}_{ 2^m}^{ \times}$, ideals of the ring $R[x]/\langle x^{ 2n}-(\delta+\alpha u^2)\rangle$ are identified as $(\delta+\alpha u^2)$-constacyclic codes of length $2n$ over $R$. In this paper, an explicit representation and enumeration for all distinct $(\delta+\alpha u^2)$-constacyclic codes of length $2n$ over $R$ are presented.
