A Hamiltonian Formulation for Long Internal Waves
A novel canonical Hamiltonian formalism is developed for long internal waves in a rotating environment. This includes the effects of background vorticity and shear on the waves. By restricting consideration to flows in hydrostatic balance, superimposed on a horizontally uniform background of vertical shear and vorticity, a particularly simple Hamiltonian structure arises, which can be thought o...
متن کاملHamiltonian Formulation and Long Wave Models for Internal Waves
We derive a Hamiltonian formulation of the problem of a dynamic free interface (with rigid lid upper boundary conditions), and of a free interface coupled with a free surface, this latter situation occurring more commonly in experiment and in nature. Based on the linearized equations, we highlight the discrepancies between the cases of rigid lid and free surface upper boundary conditions, which...
متن کاملHamiltonian formulation of nonlinear travelling Whistler waves
A Hamiltonian formulation of nonlinear, parallel propagating, travelling whistler waves is developed. The complete system of equations reduces to two coupled differential equations for the transverse electron speed u and a phase variable φ=φp − φe representing the difference in the phases of the transverse complex velocities of the protons and the electrons. Two integrals of the equations are o...
متن کاملA new model for large amplitude long internal waves
We derive a new model for the description of large amplitude internal waves in a two-fluid system. The displacement of the interface between the two fluids is assumed to be of small slope, but no smallness assumption is made on the wave amplitude. The derivation of the model is based on the perturbation theory for Hamiltonian systems. In the case of a single fluid layer, the model reduces to th...
متن کاملA Hamiltonian Formulation for Free Surface Water Waves with Non-Vanishing Vorticity
We describe the derivation of a formalism in the context of the governing equations for two-dimensional water waves propagating over a flat bed in a flow with non-vanishing vorticity. This consists in providing a Hamiltonian structure in terms of two variables which are scalar functions.
