On momentum flux and velocity spectra over waves
Data from a research tower in Lake Ontario are used to study the validity of MoninObukhov scaling in the marine atmospheric boundary layer under various wave conditions. It is found that over pure wind seas, the velocity spectra and cospectra follow established universal scaling laws. However in the presence of swells outrunning weak winds, velocity spectra and co-spectra no longer satisfy univ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Energy Dissipation and Flow Rate of Elliptical-Lopac Gate under Sudden Transition Condition
Lopac gates, with the benefits of easy installation, automation and the ability to pass sediments and floating objects, are among the new structures considered for water level regulation and flow control in the irrigation canals. Converting the shape of the gate from a rectangular one to an elliptical one allows the flow rate to be increased by the same water level. In the present study, the ef...
متن کاملComment on Enhanced TKE Dissipation under Breaking Waves
It is noted that the results of recent experiments on the enhancement of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation below surface waves can be stated as follows. TKE dissipation is enhanced by a factor 15Hws/z at depths 0.5Hws < z < 20Hws with respect to the wall-layer result ǫ = u ∗w/κz, where u∗w is the friction velocity in water and Hws is the significant windsea wave height. For open ocean ...
متن کاملEnergy-Momentum Tensors for Dispersive Electromagnetic Waves
Classical relativistic field theory is used as a basis for a general discussion of the problem of splitting up the total energy-momentum tensor ofa system into contributions from its component subsystems. Both the Minkowski and Abraham forms (including electrostriction) arise naturally in alternative split-up procedures applied to a nondispersive dielectric fluid. The case of an electromagnetic...
متن کاملMomentum Flux and Flux Divergence of Gravity Waves in Directional Shear Flows over Three-Dimensional Mountains
Linear mountain wave theory is used to derive the general formulas of the gravity wave momentum flux (WMF) and its vertical divergence that develop in directionally sheared flows with constant vertical shear. Height variations of theWMF and its vertical divergence are studied for a circular bell-shapedmountain. The results show that the magnitude of the WMF decreases with height owing to variab...
