Shoaling internal solitary waves
[1] The evolution and breaking of internal solitary waves in a shallow upper layer as they approach a constant bottom slope is examined through laboratory experiments. The waves are launched in a two-layer fluid through the standard lock-release method. In most experiments, the wave amplitude is significantly larger than the depth of the shallow upper layer so that they are not well described b...
متن کاملOn the Shoaling of Solitary Waves in the Kdv Equation
The waveheight change in surface waves with a sufficiently slow variation in depth is examined. Using a new formulation of the energy flux associated to waves modeled by the Korteweg-de Vries equation, a system of three coupled equations is derived for the determination of the local wave properties as waves propagate over gently changing depth. The system of equations is solved numerically, and...
متن کاملOn the Analysis of Dispersion Relation of Spatially Shoaling Waves
As waves propagate into nearshore waters, the wave dispersive relation is significantly affected by the nonlinear dynamics of the shoaling process (Herbers et al. 2002). This could have important effects to the interpretation and application of remote sensing results of shallow water waves (Stockdon and Holman, 2000). Many field studies are carried out based on temporally measured wave data to ...
متن کاملObservations of Polarity Reversal in Shoaling Nonlinear Internal Waves
Observations off the New Jersey coast document the shoaling of three groups of nonlinear internal waves of depression over 35 km across the shelf. Each wave group experienced changing background conditions along its shoreward transit. Despite different wave environments, a clear pattern emerges. Nearly symmetric waves propagating into shallow water develop an asymmetric shape; in the wave refer...
متن کاملShoaling of nonlinear internal waves in Massachusetts Bay
[1] The shoaling of the nonlinear internal tide in Massachusetts Bay is studied with a fully nonlinear and nonhydrostatic model. The results are compared with current and temperature observations obtained during the August 1998 Massachusetts Bay Internal Wave Experiment and observations from a shorter experiment which took place in September 2001. The model shows how the approaching nonlinear u...
