High resolution simulations of mode-2 internal waves: transport, shoaling, and the influence of rotation
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-23)Internal waves are a universal feature in stratified flows. Of particular interest are Internal Solitary and Solitary-like Waves (ISWs) which may persist for long periods of time and travel great distances. In the ocean, ... -
Normal Mode Wave-Vortex Decompositions of Mesoscale Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-18)The kinetic energy spectrum of the atmosphere has been well observed to exhibit a k^(-3) power law at synoptic scales with a transition to a shallower k^(-5/3) power law at the mesoscale. To better understand the mesoscale ... -
Simulation of Vortex Interactions With a Solid Wall Using Adaptive Mesh Refinement
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-12)One feature that is common to many fluid flows is that phenomena of interest often occur at disparate length scales, whether it be vortices interacting with a boundary layer, or shear instabilities on an internal gravity ...
