Reminiscences on the study of wind waves
The wind blowing over sea surface generates tiny wind waves. They develop with time and space absorbing wind energy, and become huge wind waves usually referred to ocean surface waves. The wind waves cause not only serious sea disasters but also take important roles in the local and global climate changes by affecting the fluxes of momentum, heat and gases (e.g. CO2) through the air-sea boundar...
متن کاملWater Waves over Ripples
The interaction of small amplitude water waves with a patch of bottom ripples is studied using the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM). Normal and oblique wave incidence is examined for reflection coefficients and the laboratory data of Davies and Heathershaw are compared to the numerical results, with the conclusion that the analytical model of Davies and Heathershaw overestimates the ref...
متن کاملExperimental study of the particle paths in solitary water waves.
We provide experiments that had been conducted to investigate the particle trajectory beneath a solitary water wave. Experimental results show that the surface drift is larger than the bottom drift. Meanwhile, the ratio of the net horizontal displacement to the total height of the trajectory at the free surface and subsurface will decrease with the initial vertical position and increase with th...
متن کاملLarge-scale velocity fluctuations in polar solar wind
The 3-D structure of the solar wind varies dramatically along the Sun’s activity cycle. In the present paper we focus on some properties of the polar solar wind. This is a fast, teneous, and steady flow (as compared to low-latitude conditions) that fills the high-latitude heliosphere at low solar activity. The polar wind has been extensively investigated by Ulysses, the first spacecraft to perf...
متن کاملWind-generated water waves: two overlooked mechanisms?
From research on stratospheric dynamics there has emerged what might prove to be some useful fresh ideas about the problem of water-wave generation by wind. As pointed out in an earlier contribution (1993), water waves can be systematically amplified by two irreversible, ratchet-like mechanisms that depend on spatio-temporal inhomogeneities, such as wind gustiness and wave groupiness. Neither m...
