Reflection and Transmission of Plane Waves at Micropolar Piezothermoelastic Solids
The present investigation analysis a problem of reflection and transmission at an interface of two micropolar orthotropic piezothermoelastic media. The basic equations and constitutive relations for micropolar orthotropic piezothermoelastic media for G-L theory are derived. The expressions for amplitude ratios corresponding to reflected and transmitted waves are derived analytically. The eff...
متن کاملReflection of low-frequency equatorial waves at arbitrary western boundaries
Procedures are developed for calculating effects of western boundaries of arbitrary geometry on low-frequency equatorial waves. We show that the mass flux incident at the coast is all returned eastward by equatorial Kelvin waves. Short Rossby waves generated as part of the reflection serve only to redistribute mass along the coast. For the case of a uniformly sloping coast we present formulae a...
متن کاملBoundary layer dissipation and the nonlinear interaction of equatorial baroclinic and barotropic rossby waves
Two-layer equatorial primitive equations for the free troposphere in the presence of a thin atmospheric boundary layer and thermal dissipation are developed here. An asymptotic theory for the resonant nonlinear interaction of long equatorial baroclinic and barotropic Rossby waves is derived in the presence of such dissipation. In this model, a self-consistent asymptotic derivation establishes t...

The Algebraic Decay of Equatorial Rossby Waves in a Shear Flow
Boyd, J.P. and Christidis, Z.D., 1987. The algebraic decay of equatorial Rossby waves in a shear flow. Dyn. Atmos. Oceans, 11: 139-151. Through numerical integration, we show that equatorial Rossby waves, like their midlatitude counterparts, decay algebraically in the limit t --, co in a linear shear flow. For small times, the growth expected for some components does not translate into any grow...
