Stratified Flow over Topography: Wave Generation and Boundary Layer Separation
We have performed laboratory experiments to study wave generation over and in the lee of model topography. We have chosen to use periodic, finite-amplitude hills which are representative of the Earth’s major mountain ranges as well as the repetitious topographic features of the ocean floor. The topographic shapes are selected to encompass varying degrees of roughness, from smoothly-varying sinu...
متن کاملTurbulence Modeling in Stratified Flows over Topography
A non-hydrostatic code that numerically solves the unsteady, three-dimensional, primitive equations is used. Advanced models such as the dynamic mixed model and the dynamic eddy viscosity model are utilized to represent subgrid processes in the LES approach. A novel near-wall model has been developed so as to increase the Reynolds number of boundary flows to realistically large geophysical valu...
متن کاملA three-dimensional map of tidal dissipation over abyssal hills
The breaking of internal tides is believed to provide a large part of the power needed to mix the abyssal ocean and sustain the meridional overturning circulation. Both the fraction of internal tide energy that is dissipated locally and the resulting vertical mixing distribution are crucial for the ocean state, but remain poorly quantified. Here we present a first worldwide estimate of mixing d...
متن کاملStratified Flow Over Topography and the Generation of Internal Solitary Waves
Internal solitary waves, which form such a prominent feature in remote sensing images of the coastal zone, are the far field expression of stratified flow over topography. Nonlinear evolution of large amplitude internal tides propagating over the continental shelf is one means by which they might be generated, but detailed observations of wave generation over topography in an inlet illustrate o...
متن کاملLinear and Nonlinear Stratified Spindown over Sloping Topography
In a stratified rotating fluid, frictionally driven circulations couple with the buoyancy field over sloping topography. Analytical and numerical methods are used to quantify the impact of this coupling on the vertical circulation, spindown of geostrophic flows, and the formation of a shelfbreak jet. Over a stratified. slope, linear spindown of a geostrophic along-isobath flow induces cross-iso...
