The Effect of Topography on the Dynamics of Interacting Solitary Waves in the Context of Atmospheric Blocking
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown that the influence of topography on the interaction of long, weakly nonlinear, quasigeostrophic baroclinic waves can be described by a pair of linearly coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations, with a forcing term in one of the equations. This system exhibits a rich dynamics that is suggestive of atmospheric blocking such as stable stationary solutions, transient quasi-steady-state solutions, multiple equilibria, and baroclinic instability. Topography is shown to favor the formation of blocking systems. This system is investigated both analytically, using techniques from asymptotic perturbation theory, and through numerical simulations.

متن کاملInvestigating the Amount of Forces Caused by Solitary Waves on Coastal Walls Using OpenFOAM Software
Coastal walls (dyke) are one of the methods of protecting the coast against coastal erosion and destructive forces of waves. The purpose of this study is to simulate the wave collision with the coastal dyke and compare the results with the laboratory model. Open FOAM open source software and K-ω SST turbulence model were used to simulate the amount of wave consumed by the coastal dyke. Taking i...
