On the cascade mechanism of short surface wave modulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Modulation of short surface ripples by long surface or internal waves by a cascade mechanism is considered. At the first stage, the orbital velocity of the long wave (LW) adiabatically modulates an intermediate length nonlinear gravity wave (GW), which generates a bound (parasitic) capillary wave (CW) near its crest in a wide spatial frequency band. Due to strong dependence of the CW amplitude on that of the GW, the resulting ripple modulation by LW can be strong. Adiabatic modulation at the first stage is calculated for an arbitrarily strong LW current. The CWs are calculated based on the Lonquet-Higgins theory, in the framework of a steady periodic solution, which proves to be sufficient for the cases considered. Theoretical results are compared with data from laboratory experiments. A discussion of related sea clutter data is given in the conclusion.

Modulation Response and Relative Intensity Noise Spectra in Quantum Cascade Lasers
Static properties, relatively intensity noise and intensity modulation response in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) studied theoretically in this paper. The present rate equations model consists of three equations for the electrons density in the conduction band and one equation for photons density in cavity length. Two equations were derived to calculate the noise and modulation response. Calcula...

In this paper, a new structure of HFTI-qZS-CMI has been proposed. The proposed structure is capable of generating high-voltage for medium to high power applications. By adding a switch, a capacitor and a high-frequency transformer and also eliminating an inductor from each qZS-CMI cell, the HFTI-qZS-CMI structure will be created. Using the high-frequency transformer in the proposed structure, l...
متن کاملThe Deterministic Generation of Extreme Surface Water Waves Based on Soliton on Finite Background in Laboratory
This paper aims to describe a deterministic generation of extreme waves in a typical towing tank. Such a generation involves an input signal to be provided at the wave maker in such a way that at a certain position in the wave tank, say at a position of a tested object, a large amplitude wave emerges. For the purpose, we consider a model called a spatial-NLS describing the spatial propagation o...

In this theoretical work, we present for the first time voltammetric results of a surface multistep electron transfer mechanism that is associated with a preceding chemical reaction that is linked to the first electron transfer step. The mathematical model of this so-called “surface CEE mechanism” is solved under conditions of square-wave voltammetry. We present relevant set of results portrayi...
متن کاملModulation of Wind Ripples by Long Surface Waves via the Air Flow: a Feedback Mechanism
The evolution of a short-wave (SW) spectrum along a long wave (LW) is studied. The evolution of the SW spectrum variation is treated in the relaxation time approximation. The variation of the SW spectrum is caused by the LW orbital velocities and by the variation of the wind stress along the surface of a LW. The latter is due to the distortion of the flow by a LW, and to the variation of the ro...
