Numerical Experiments on the Breaking of Solitary Internal Wavesover a Slope–Shelf Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical study of the transformation of large amplitude internal solitary waves (ISW) of permanent form over a slope?shelf topography is considered using as basis the Reynolds equations. The vertical fluid stratification, ...
Amplification and Suppression of Internal Waves by Tides over Variable Bottom Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The energy exchange between internal waves and barotropic currents over inclined bottom topography is studied theoretically and in the framework of the numerical model. The energy balance equation derived for a continuously ...
Analysis of Supercritical Stratified Tidal Flow in a Scottish Fjord
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The baroclinic tidal regime of the fjord Loch Etive (Scotland) is studied. Analysis is performed on the basis of both in situ data and numerical simulations, with the use of a fully nonlinear nonhydrostatic fine-resolution ...
Structure of Large-Amplitude Internal Solitary Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The horizontal and vertical structure of large-amplitude internal solitary waves propagating in stratified waters on a continental shelf is investigated by analyzing the results of numerical simulations and in situ ...
Combined Effect of Rotation and Topography on Shoaling Oceanic Internal Solitary Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nternal solitary waves commonly observed in the coastal ocean are often modeled by a nonlinear evolution equation of the Korteweg?de Vries type. Because these waves often propagate for long distances over several inertial ...
Three-Dimensional Evolution of Large-Amplitude Internal Waves in the Strait of Gibraltar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The modeling of large-amplitude internal waves (LAIWs) propagating in the Strait of Gibraltar is carried out using a fully nonlinear nonhydrostatic numerical model. The focus of the modeling efforts was on three-dimensional ...
