Mechanics of Internal Waves Propagating over a Varying Bottom Slope
We studied theoretically and experimentally the transformation, attenuation, and setup due to shoaling and breaking of internal waves in a two-layer fluid system on a uniform slope. An image processing technique was used to illustrate 2D instantaneous displacements of density interface. These results were compared with the calculated values by using the method of characteristics, the simple sho...
متن کاملNOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Dissipative Losses in Nonlinear Internal Waves Propagating across the Continental Shelf
A single nonlinear internal wave tracked more than 100 wavelengths across Oregon’s continental shelf over a 12-h period exhibited nearly constant wave speed, c 0.75 m s , and amplitude, a 15 m. The wavelength L gradually decreased from 220 m in 170-m water depth to 60 m in 70-m water depth. As the water shallowed beyond 50 m, the wave became unrecognizable as such. The total energy decreased fr...
متن کاملConvective effects on a propagating reaction front
Unstable concentration gradients inherent in traveling chemical waves can give rise to buoyancy-driven convection, altering the speed of the wave. When an excitable Belousov– Zhabotinsky reaction system is confined within a sufficiently narrow, vertical two-dimensional channel, convection arises at a symmetry-breaking bifurcation point. The observed linear rate of change of wave speed with the ...
متن کاملHelicase activity on DNA as a propagating front
We develop a propagating front analysis, in terms of a local probability of zipping, for the helicase activity of opening up a double stranded DNA (dsDNA). In a fixed-distance ensemble (conjugate to the fixed-force ensemble) the front separates the zipped and unzipped phases of a dsDNA and a drive acts locally around the front. Bounds from variational analysis and numerical estimates for the sp...
متن کاملSubmesoscale transition from geostrophic flows to internal waves in the northwestern Pacific upper ocean
With radar interferometry, the next-generation Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite mission will improve the measured sea surface height resolution down to 15 km, allowing us to investigate for the first time the global upper ocean variability at the submesoscale range. Here, by analysing shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler measurements along 137°E in the northwest Pacific of 20...
