Near-inertial parametric subharmonic instability
New analytic estimates of the rate at which parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) transfers energy to high-vertical-wavenumber near-inertial oscillations are presented. These results are obtained by a heuristic argument which provides insight into the physical mechanism of PSI, and also by a systematic application of the method of multiple time scales to the Boussinesq equations linearized a...
متن کاملParametric subharmonic instability of internal gravity wave beams
Internal gravity wave beams are time-harmonic plane waves with general spatial profile that arise in continuously stratified fluids owing to the anisotropy of this wave motion. In the last decade, these wave disturbances have been at the forefront of research, both from a fundamental perspective and in connection with various geophysical flow processes. Oceanic internal wave beams, in particula...
متن کاملDegradation of an internal wave beam by parametric subharmonic instability in an upper ocean pycnocline
[1] Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the interaction of a semidiurnal internal wave (IW) beam with the nonuniform stratification of an upper ocean pycnocline. During the initial stage of the interaction, higher harmonics originate after reflection of the IW beam at the caustic and are trapped in the pycnocline. In cases where the pycnocline thickness is sufficiently large (app...
متن کامل“ The Impulse Approximation for the Richtmyer - Meshkov Instability in Continuously Stratified Fluids ”
The popular impulse approximation is applied to the Richtmyer-Meshkov problem for continuously strati ed uids through the use of a model due to Sa man and Meiron. The predictions of the late time growth rate of the interface and interfacial circulation from a numerical implementation of the model are compared with calculations from the nonlinear Euler equations. It is shown that for weak incide...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of subtleties in subharmonic intermittency
Experiments on the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction in a well-stirred flow reactor elucidate one of the routes to chaos, subharmonic intermittency (type III interminency). Measurements conducted as a function of two independent control parameters demonstrate how difficult it is in practice to distinguish this route to chaos from subcritical period doubling transitions with similar chaotic time sig...
