Testing the limits of quasi-geostrophic theory: application to observed laboratory flows outside the quasi-geostrophic regime
We compare laboratory observations of equilibrated baroclinic waves in the rotating two-layer annulus, with numerical simulations from a quasi-geostrophic model. The laboratory experiments lie well outside the quasi-geostrophic regime: the Rossby number reaches unity; the depth-to-width aspect ratio is large; and the fluid contains ageostrophic inertia–gravity waves. Despite being formally inap...
متن کاملDispersion of Torsional Surface Wave in a Pre-Stressed Heterogeneous Layer Sandwiched Between Anisotropic Porous Half-Spaces Under Gravity
The study of surface waves in a layered media has their viable application in geophysical prospecting. This paper presents an analytical study on the dispersion of torsional surface wave in a pre-stressed heterogeneous layer sandwiched between a pre-stressed anisotropic porous semi-infinite medium and gravitating anisotropic porous half-space. The non-homogeneity within the intermediate layer a...
متن کاملحل تحلیلی امواج سطحی تولید شده در اثر حرکت اجسام غوطه ور
Analytical analysis of a two-dimensional submerged body moving with a constant velocity in an inviscid incompressible fluid under gravity near a free surface is studied in this paper. This notion is one of the fundamental concepts in applied hydrodynamics. Experimental observations of water waves in large scale or laboratory observation in open channels is indicative of complex phenomenons taki...
متن کاملSurface gravity waves in deep fluid at vertical shear flows
Special features of surface gravity waves in deep fluid flow with constant vertical shear of velocity is studied. It is found that the mean flow velocity shear leads to non-trivial modification of surface gravity wave modes dispersive characteristics. Moreover, the shear induces generation of surface gravity waves by internal vortex mode perturbations. The performed analytical and numerical stu...
متن کاملThe equilibrium dynamics and statistics of gravity–capillary waves
Recent field observations and modelling of breaking surface gravity waves suggest that air-entraining breaking is not sufficiently dissipative of surface gravity waves to balance the dynamics of wind-wave growth and nonlinear interactions with dissipation for the shorter gravity waves of O(10) cm wavelength. Theories of parasitic capillary waves that form at the crest and forward face of shorte...
