Nonlinear Phase Speeds and Depth Inversions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experiments were conducted in a laboratory facility under with a fixed bathymetric profile containing a single bar. A hybrid data set was collected consisting of remotely sensed wave data combined with modelgenerated wave amplitude profiles. The data is used to test the improvements in depth retrieval through the use of a nonlinear composite dispersion that is applicable in arbitrary water depths. The dispersion relation relates the wave properties with the local water depth and the results suggest that inclusion of nonlinearity improves depth estimation on shallow water.

Remote sensing of breaking wave phase speeds with application to non-linear depth inversions
A number of existing models for surface wave phase speeds (linear and non-linear, breaking and non-breaking waves) are reviewed and tested against phase speed data from a large-scale laboratory experiment. The results of these tests are utilized in the context of assessing the potential improvement gained by incorporating wave non-linearity in phase speed based depth inversions. The analysis is...
متن کاملStudy of Temperature and Salinity Inversions in the Oman Sea
In this research, observational data are analyzed to explain temperature and salinity inversions and double diffusion in the Oman Sea. The results of this paper show that intrusive structures extend over a depth of about 100-450 meters in the Oman Sea. Temperature and salinity inversions observed depth of 250 m in winter and summer in the Oman Sea. Steps thickness is about 10 to 20 meters. A wa...
متن کاملTibetan and Indian lithospheres in the upper mantle beneath Tibet: Evidence from broadband surfacewave dispersion
[1] Broadband seismic experiments over the last two decades have produced dense data coverage across Tibet. Yet, the mechanism of the India-Asia lithospheric convergence beneath it remains a puzzle, with even its basic features debated and with very different end-member models advocated today. We measured highly accurate Rayleighand Love-wave phase-velocity curves in broad period ranges (up to ...

Nonlinear hunting speeds of railway vehicles running on a tangent track are analytically obtained using Hopf bifurcation theory in this paper. The railway vehicle model consists of nonlinear primary yaw dampers, nonlinear flange contact stiffness as well as the clearance between the wheel flange and rail tread. Linear and nonlinear critical speeds are obtained using Bogoliubov method. A compreh...
