متن کاملa numerical study of internal tide generation due to interaction of barotropic tide with bottom topography in the oman gulf
a major part of tidal energy is usually dissipated by the interaction of tidal currents with bottom topography. gulf of oman is a marginal sea which has variable topography and its dominant tidal constituent is m2 semi-diurnal tide. in this paper, the interaction of barotropic tidal current with bottom topography is evaluated. this phenomenon causes the formation of internal tide. internal tide...
متن کاملInternal tide generation at the continental shelf modelled using a modal decomposition: two-dimensional results
Stratified flow over topography is studied, with oceanic applications in mind. We develop a model for a fluid with arbitrary vertical stratification and a free surface, flowing over threedimensional topography of arbitrary size and steepness, with background rotation, in the linear hydrostatic regime. The model uses an expansion of the flow fields in terms of a set of basis functions which effi...
متن کاملOn the Fraction of Internal Tide Energy Dissipated Near Topography
Internal tides have been implicated as a major source of mechanical energy for mixing in the ocean interior. Indeed, microstructure and tracer measurements have indicated that enhanced turbulence levels occur near topography where internal tides are generated. However, the details of the energy budget and the mechanisms by which energy is transferred from the internal tide to turbulence have be...
متن کاملGeneration of internal undular bores by transcritical flow over topography
In both the ocean and the atmosphere, the interaction of a density stratified flow with topography can generate large-amplitude, horizontally propagating internal solitary waves. Often these waves appear as a wave-train, or undular bore. In this article we focus on the situation when the flow is critical, that is, the flow speed is close to that of a linear long wave mode. In the weakly nonline...
