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 کاملLyapunov Instability and Finite Size Effects in a System with Long-Range Forces
We study the largest Lyapunov exponent l and the finite size effects of a system of N fully coupled classical particles, which shows a second order phase transition. Slightly below the critical energy density Uc, l shows a peak which persists for very large N values sN 20 000d. We show, both numerically and analytically, that chaoticity is strongly related to kinetic energy fluctuations. In t...
متن کاملFinite-size effects in intracellular microrheology
We propose a model to explain finite-size effects in intracellular microrheology observed in experiments. The constrained dynamics of the particles in the intracellular medium, treated as a viscoelastic medium, is described by means of a diffusion equation in which interactions of the particles with the cytoskeleton are modelled by a harmonic force. The model reproduces the observed power-law b...
