Abstract: The problem of the oscillatory motion of a homogeneous, rotating fluid in the vicinity of an isolated topographic feature is investigated in the laboratory and numerically. The laboratory experiments are conducted by fixing ...

Abstract: Alongshore oscillatory flows over an elongated topographic feature next to a vertical wall for a homogeneous, rotating fluid were investigated by means of numerical and laboratory experiments. The physical experiments were ...

Abstract: The banded organization of clouds and zonal winds in the atmospheres of the outer planets has long fascinated observers. Several recent studies in the theory and idealized modeling of geostrophic turbulence have suggested ...
