Internal waves and temperature fronts on slopes
Time series measurements from an array of temperature miniloggers in a line at constant depth along the sloping boundary of a lake are used to describe the `internal surf zone' where internal waves interact with the sloping boundary. More small positive temperature time derivatives are recorded than negative, but there are more large negative values than positive, giving the overall distributio...
متن کاملGeneralized Internal Solitary Waves and Fronts
It was shown in [1] that waves in a two-layer system with free-surface boundary conditions (or in a three-layer system) can be modelled by a system of two coupled long wave equations. The study of the resonance between a solitary wave of one of the two equations and a copropagating periodic wave of the other equation is carried out numerically. The resulting wave is a generalized solitary wave....
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Internal Kelvin Waves and Coastal Upwelling Fronts*
Two three-dimensional primitive equation numerical ocean models are applied to the problem of internal Kelvin waves and coastal upwelling in the Great Lakes. One is the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) with a terrain-following (sigma) vertical coordinate, and the other is the Dietrich/Center for Air Sea Technology (DIECAST) model with constant z-level coordinates. The sigma coordinate system is part...
متن کاملGeneralized solitary waves and fronts
Generalized solitary waves arise in many physical systems, including water waves with surface tension and multi-layered fluids [7,19,21,22]. They are nonlinear long waves consisting of a localized central core and periodic non-decaying oscillations extending to infinity. They arise whenever there is a resonance between a linear long wave speed of one wave mode in the system and a wave speed wit...
متن کاملBreaking criterion and characteristics for solitary waves on slopes
Shoaling and breaking of solitary waves is computed on slopes 1:100 to 1:8 using an experimentally validated fully nonlinear wave model based on potential flow equations. Characteristics of waves are computed at and beyond the breaking point, and geometric self-similarities of breakers are discussed as a function of wave height and bottom slope. No wave breaks for slopes steeper than 12 . A bre...
