Abstract: Transfer rates and times of nonlinear resonant interactions within the oceanic internal wave field are evaluated analytically for the mechanisms which dominate the transfers within the Garrett-Munk spectral models (the ...

Abstract: For oceanic internal waves with vertical scales larger than 1 m the evolution of the spectrum is adequately described by weak-interaction theory. Based on simple physical arguments, a model for internal-wave energy dissipation ...

Abstract: The flow field was measured near the inlet and the outlet of an axial flow inducer with shrouded and unshrouded configurations combined with a centrifugal pump. Investigations were conducted ...

Abstract: Incorporating a backflow recirculator is a way to reduce part load instabilities of inducers. Experimental results demonstrate that two devices with simple geometry considerably soften pressure ...
