Gravity Currents in Aquatic Canopies
A lock exchange experiment is used to investigate the propagation of gravity currents through a random array of rigid, emergent cylinders which represents a canopy of aquatic plants. As canopy drag increases, the propagating front varies from the classic profile of an unobstructed gravity current to a triangular profile. Unlike the unobstructed lock exchange, the gravity current in the canopy d...
متن کاملModulation of wave forces on kelp canopies by alongshore currents
The predominant view of the canopy-forming kelp’s mechanical response to water motion is that they sway passively under waves such that they are only rarely stretched out in flow, which reduces relative fluid velocities and decreases the applied force. Such a view is an appropriate first-order approximation but becomes conceptually problematic in the face of the net surface velocities (Stokes d...

متن کاملInternal wave instability: Wave-wave versus wave-induced mean flow interactions
In continuously stratified fluid, vertically propagating internal gravity waves of moderately large amplitude can become unstable and possibly break due to a variety of mechanisms including with some overlap modulational instability, parametric subharmonic instability PSI , self-acceleration, overturning, and convective instability. In PSI, energy from primary waves is transferred, for example,...
متن کاملIteration Coupling Simulation of Random Waves and Wave-Induced Currents
A two-way coupling algorithm for wave-current interaction is developed and implemented into a nearshore circulation model to investigate the effects of fully wave-current interaction on irregular wave transformation over an elliptic shoal. The wave field is simulated by a spectral wave model WABED, and the wave-induced current is solved by a quasi-three-dimensional model WINCM. The surface roll...
