Long's Equation in Terrain Following Coordinates
نویسنده
چکیده
Long’s equation describes two dimensional stratified atmospheric flow over terrain which is represented by the geometry of the domain. The solutions of this equation over simple topography were investigated analytically and numerically by many authors. In this paper we derive a new terrain following formulation of this equation which incorporates the terrain as part of the differential equation rather than the geometry of the domain. This new formulation enables us to compute analytically steady state gravity wave patterns over complex topography in some limiting cases of the parameters that appear in this equation.

On the Solution of Long's Equation with Shear
Long's equation describes two dimensional stratified flow over terrain. Its numerical solutions under various approximations were investigated by many authors under the assumption that the base flow field is without shear. Special attention was paid to the properties of the gravity waves that are predicted to be generated as a result. In this paper we address, analytically, the nature and prope...

متن کاملEffective Behavior of Solitary Waves over Random Topography
The deformation of a nonlinear pulse traveling in a dispersive random medium can be studied with asymptotic analysis based on separation of scales when the propagation distance is large compared to the correlation length of the random medium. We consider shallow water waves with a spatially random depth. We use a formulation in terms of a terrain-following Boussinesq system. We compute the effe...
متن کاملMultiple solutions for granular flow over a smooth two-dimensional bump
Geophysical granular flows, such as avalanches, debris flows, lahars and pyroclastic flows, are always strongly influenced by the basal topography that they flow over. In particular, localised bumps or obstacles can generate rapid changes in the flow thickness and velocity, or shock waves, which dissipate significant amounts of energy. Understanding how a granular material is affected by the un...

Many people experience vibration effects on whole-body throughout their lives frequently. Vibrating energy absorbed is exposed all-body caused with vibration hazard in the vertically on body and biodynamic responses from body in speed 2.37 to 5.14 m/s could captivate with car seat on user body, so the vibration energy transferred to a seated people body. In this paper, the human body is modeled...
