The physics of orographic gravity wave drag
*Correspondence: Miguel A. C. Teixeira, Department of Meteorology, University of Reading, Earley Gate, PO Box 243, Reading RG6 6BB, UK e-mail: [email protected] The drag and momentum fluxes produced by gravity waves generated in flow over orography are reviewed, focusing on adiabatic conditions without phase transitions or radiation effects, and steady mean incoming flow. The orographi...
متن کاملObservation of gravity-capillary wave turbulence.
We report the observation of the crossover between gravity and capillary wave turbulence on the surface of mercury. The probability density functions of the turbulent wave height are found to be asymmetric and thus non-Gaussian. The surface wave height displays power-law spectra in both regimes. In the capillary region, the exponent is in fair agreement with weak turbulence theory. In the gravi...
متن کاملSeveral Interesting Characters of Capillary-Gravity Wave
At the liquid-air interface, if there exist any moving disturbances, like a water-walking insect or just a simple pressure source, it will generate capillary-gravity waves [1-4]. The restoring force in this picture is a combination of the gravity and surface tension. And since the disturbance expends a power to generate these waves, it will experience a drag, known as the wave resistance [5]. S...
متن کاملSelf-Acceleration in the Parameterization of Orographic Gravity Wave Drag
A new effect related to the evaluation of momentum deposition in conventional parameterizations of orographic gravity wave drag (GWD) is considered. The effect takes the form of an adjustment to the basicstate wind about which steady-state wave solutions are constructed. The adjustment is conservative and follows from wave–mean flow theory associated with wave transience at the leading edge of ...
متن کاملCapillary–gravity wave transport over spatially random drift
We derive transport equations for the propagation of water wave action in the presence of subsurface random flows. Using the Wigner distribution W(x, k, t) to represent the envelope of the wave amplitude at position x, time t contained in high frequency waves with wave vector k/ε (where ε is a small parameter compared to a characteristic distance of propagation), we describe surface wave transp...
