Added Resistance & Drift Force Analysis in Regular and Irregular Waves
The sea wave causes excess resistance which is out of scope of calm water resistance. The total wave force in horizontal plane is divided into “Added Resistance” and “Drift Force”. In this study, based on Gerritsma and Beuckelman[3] hypothesis a computer program has been developed for calculation of added resistance and drift force at various ship speeds and various head...
متن کاملZonal flow and field generation by finite beta drift waves and kinetic drift-Alfvén waves
A study of the generation of zonal flows and zonal magnetic fields by finite beta drift waves and kinetic drift-Alfvén waves is presented. The analysis is a generalization of recent investigations of the modulational instability for zonal flow generation by electrostatic drift waves to finite beta drift waves and kinetic drift-Alfvén waves. The drift wave driven unstable zonal flows/fields are ...
متن کاملThe Most Symmetric Drift Waves
Low frequency drift oscillations play an important role in the transport processes in magnetized plasmas, so they are intensely studied in recent decades [1]. The main problem in the drift waves investigations is the presence of nonlinear effects even at relatively small amplitudes. Nonlinear generation of the high space harmonics and their accumulation in the initial disturbance zone complicat...
متن کاملCharacteristic parameters of drift vortices coupled to Alfvén waves in an inhomogeneous space plasma.
We present detailed measurements of ion scale vortices of drift type coupled to Alfvén waves in an inhomogeneous and collisionless space magnetoplasma. The two free parameters of a dipolar vortex, intensity and spatial radius, are measured. The vortices are driven by a strong density gradient on a boundary layer with scale size of the same order as the vortex diameter. Observations of vortices ...
متن کاملTransient Growth Mechanisms of Resistive Drift-Waves
Normal mode analysis has been applied to many fluid dynamic stability problems with great success. However, there are some notable cases where the predictions of normal mode analysis fail to correspond to observed phenomena. In particular, normal mode analysis predicts a transition to turbulence for some flows at a much higher Reynolds numbers than that seen in experiment. Recent studies have s...
