Lagrangian coherent structures and internal wave attractors.
For a nonuniformly stratified layer of fluid, internal gravity waves propagate at varying angles depending on the local buoyancy and Coriolis (in geophysical applications) frequencies. Relatively confined geometries, such as multiple submarine ridges, can support internal wave attractors, which can be viewed as Lagrangian coherent structures for the energy density flux. Since traditional approa...
متن کاملInternal gravity wave radiation into weakly stratified fluid
It is shown by way of nonlinear numerical simulations of flow restricted to two dimensions that a compact wavepacket of large-amplitude internal gravity waves incident upon a weakly stratified region in which the buoyancy frequency is less than the frequency of the wavepacket may partially transmit energy into this region through the generation of a wavepacket of lower frequency. In part, the t...
متن کاملThe axisymmetric collapse of a mixed patch and internal wave generation in uniformly stratified rotating fluid
We present an experimental and numerical investigation of the effect of Coriolis forces on the axisymmetric collapse of a uniform mixed region in uniformly stratified fluid. Laboratory experiments were performed on a rotating table in which a mixed patch contained initially in a hollow cylinder was released and so excited internal waves whose properties were analyzed using synthetic schlieren. ...
متن کاملInternal Waves and Boundary Layers in a Density-stratified Fluid
Internal tides, generated in the density-stratified ocean by the oscillation of the barotropic tide over bottom topography, play a crucial role in the energy balance of the Earth–Moon system [1]. This has led to a recent revival of the classical topic of internal gravity wave generation by oscillating bodies. Wave energy dissipates owing to wave breaking and suband superharmonic excitation, at ...
متن کاملIntrusive Gravity Currents and Internal Gravity Wave Generation in Stratified Fluid
The excitation of internal gravity waves by fluid intrusions that propagate along the interface between a uniform upper layer and a uniformly stratified lower layer is examined by way of laboratory experiments. Intrusions are generated using a simple lock-release apparatus. Experiments are conducted in which the density gradient of the uniformly stratified layer, the density jump across the int...
