Water Waves over Ripples
نویسنده
چکیده
The interaction of small amplitude water waves with a patch of bottom ripples is studied using the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM). Normal and oblique wave incidence is examined for reflection coefficients and the laboratory data of Davies and Heathershaw are compared to the numerical results, with the conclusion that the analytical model of Davies and Heathershaw overestimates the reflection coefficient at resonance. Comparison of BIEM results for oblique incidence is made with an extension of the recent work of Mei showing good agreement, even for large amplitude ripples.

Intrawave observations of sediment entrainment processes above sand ripples under irregular waves
[1] Measurements of intrawave sediment entrainment processes are reported above ripples under irregular waves generated in a large‐scale flume facility. The data consist of substantive observations of small‐scale processes collected at high spatial and temporal resolution under irregular wave forcing, typical of coastal environments. Acoustic measurements were made of water velocities, bed form...
متن کاملExistence of Wilton Ripples for Water Waves with Constant Vorticity and Capillary Effects
In this paper we study the water wave problem with capillary e ects and constant vorticity when stagnation points are not excluded. When the constant vorticity is close to certain critical values we show that there exist Wilton ripples solutions of the water wave problem with two crests and two troughs per minimal period. They form smooth secondary bifurcation curves which emerge from primary b...
متن کاملA neural mass model of CA1-CA3 neural network and studying sharp wave ripples
We spend one third of our life in sleep. The interesting point about the sleep is that the neurons are not quiescent during sleeping and they show synchronous oscillations at different regions. Especially sharp wave ripples are observed in the hippocampus. Here, we propose a simple phenomenological neural mass model for the CA1-CA3 network of the hippocampus considering the spike frequency adap...
متن کاملA general wave equation for waves over rippled beds
A time-dependent extension of the reduced wave equation of Berkhoff is developed for the case of waves propagating over a bed consisting of ripples superimposed on an otherwise slowly varying mean depth which satisfies the mild-slope assumption. The ripples are assumed to have wavelengths on the order of the surface wavelength but amplitudes which scale as a small parameter along with the botto...
متن کاملHOPS Short Course: Traveling Water Waves
In this contribution we discuss Higher Order Perturbation of Surfaces (HOPS) methods with particular application to traveling water waves. The Transformed Field Expansion method (TFE) is discussed as a method for handling the unknown fluid domain. The procedures for computing Stokes waves and Wilton Ripples are compared. The Lyapunov-Schmidt procedure for the Wilton Ripple is presented explicit...
