Stationary gravity waves with the zero mean vorticity in stratified fluid

چکیده
A new approach to the description of stationary plane waves in ideal density stratified incompressible fluid is considered without the application of Boussinesq approximation. The approach is based on the equation derived by Dubreil-Jacotin [4, 5, 6] and Long [7] with the additional assumption that the mean vorticity of the flow is zero. It is shown that in the linear approximation the spectrum of eigenmodes and dispersion equations corresponding to these eigenmodes can be found in the closed analytical forms for many particular relationships between the fluid density and stream function. Examples are presented for waves of infinitesimal amplitude. Exact expression for the velocity of solitary wave of any amplitude is derived.

Variational Principles for Water Waves
We describe the Hamiltonian structures, including the Poisson brackets and Hamiltonians, for free boundary problems for incompressible fluid flows with vorticity. The Hamiltonian structure is used to obtain variational principles for stationary gravity waves both for irrotational flows as well as flows with vorticity.
متن کاملAvailable potential vorticity and wave-averaged quasi-geostrophic flow
We derive a wave-averaged potential vorticity equation describing the evolution of strongly stratified, rapidly rotating quasi-geostrophic (QG) flow in a field of inertia-gravity internal waves. The derivation relies on a multiple-time-scale asymptotic expansion of the Eulerian Boussinesq equations. Our result confirms and extends the theory of Bühler & McIntyre (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 354, 1998,...
متن کاملOn non-dissipative wave–mean interactions in the atmosphere or oceans
Idealized model examples of non-dissipative wave–mean interactions, using smallamplitude and slow-modulation approximations, are studied in order to re-examine the usual assumption that the only important interactions are dissipative. The results clarify and extend the body of wave–mean interaction theory on which our present understanding of, for instance, the global-scale atmospheric circulat...
متن کاملA Buoyancy–Vorticity Wave Interaction Approach to Stratified Shear Flow
Motivated by the success of potential vorticity (PV) thinking for Rossby waves and related shear flow phenomena, this work develops a buoyancy–vorticity formulation of gravity waves in stratified shear flow, for which the nonlocality enters in the same way as it does for barotropic/baroclinic shear flows. This formulation provides a time integration scheme that is analogous to the time integrat...
متن کاملModelling of Love Waves in Fluid Saturated Porous Viscoelastic Medium resting over an Exponentially Graded Inhomogeneous Half-space Influenced by Gravity
The present article is devoted to a theoretical study on Love wave vibration in a pre-stressed fluid-saturated anisotropic porous viscoelastic medium embedded over an inhomogeneous isotropic half-space influenced by gravity. The expression of dispersion has been achieved with the help of mathematical tools such as variable separable method and Whittaker’s function’s expansion under certain boun...
