Internal waves and turbulence in a stable stratified jet
Direct numerical simulations are performed to investigate the interaction between a stably stratified jet and internal gravity waves from an adjacent shear layer with mild stratification. Results from two simulations are presented: one with the jet located far from the shear layer (far jet) and the other with the shear layer right on top of the jet (near jet). The near jet problem is motivated ...
متن کاملLong-Wave Instability in Marginally Stable Shear Flows
The reductive perturbation theories used by physicists typically fall into two classes: adiabatic elimination of strongly damped variables in dissipative systems, or averaging over fast oscillations in finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems. Our interest here is a third class which in a peculiar way combines aspects of both methods; this is the development of reduced descriptions for instabilit...
متن کاملDynamics of large - amplitude internal waves in stratified flows over topography
The present research is comprised of theoretical investigations of three problems in the mechanics of internal waves of large amplitude, using analysis and numerical methods. In the first problem, the flow of a Boussinesq density-stratified fluid of large depth past the algebraic mountain ('Witch of Agnesi') is studied in the hydrostatic limit using the asymptotic theory of Kantzios & Akylas (1...
متن کاملPropagation of Rossby Waves in Stratified Shear Flows
A study is made of the propagation of Rossby waves in a stably stratified shear flows. The wave equation for the Rossby waves is derived in an isothermal atmosphere on a beta plane in the presence of a latitudinally sheared zonal flow. It is shown that the wave equation is singular at five critical levels, but the wave absorption takes place only at the two levels where the local relative frequ...
متن کاملLong solitary internal waves in stable stratifications
Observations of internal solitary waves over an antarctic ice shelf (Rees and Rottman, 1994) demonstrate that even large amplitude disturbances have wavelengths that are bounded by simple heuristic arguments following from the Scorer parameter based on linear theory for wave trapping. Classical weak nonlinear theories that have been applied to stable stratifications all begin with perturbations...
