Mechanics of Internal Waves Propagating over a Varying Bottom Slope
We studied theoretically and experimentally the transformation, attenuation, and setup due to shoaling and breaking of internal waves in a two-layer fluid system on a uniform slope. An image processing technique was used to illustrate 2D instantaneous displacements of density interface. These results were compared with the calculated values by using the method of characteristics, the simple sho...
متن کاملResonant generation of internal waves on a model continental slope.
We study internal wave generation in a laboratory model of oscillating tidal flow on a continental margin. Waves are found to be generated only in a near-critical region where the slope of the bottom topography matches that of internal waves. Fluid motion with a velocity an order of magnitude larger than that of the forcing occurs within a thin boundary layer above the bottom surface. The reson...
متن کاملScattering of internal waves from small sea bottom inhomogeneities
The problem of scattering of linear internal waves from small compact sea bottom inhomogeneities is considered from the point of view of mode-to-mode scattering. A simple formula for modal conversion coefficients Cnm , quantifying the amount of energy that is scattered into the n-th mode from the incident field m-th mode, is derived. In this formula the representation of inhomogeneities by thei...
متن کاملNonlinear internal waves over New Jersey’s continental shelf
[1] Ship and mooring data collected off the coast of New Jersey are used to describe the nonlinear internal wave (NLIW) field and the background oceanographic conditions that formed the waveguide on the shelf. The subinertial, inertial, and tidal circulation are described in detail, and the background fluid state is characterized using the coefficients of the extendedKorteweg–deVries equation. ...
متن کاملGeneration and Propagation of Internal Solitary Waves on the Continental Shelf and Slope
There are two principal objectives. The first is to develop and refine amplitude evolution equations of the Korteweg-de Vries type to the point where they can be used as validated models for the propagation of internal solitary waves. The second is to undertake a major re-examination of the generation process, using a combination of theoretical and numerical analyses, and emphasising the distin...
