Capillary-gravity and capillary waves generated in a wind wave tank: observations and theories
Short water surface waves generated by wind in a water tunnel have been measured by an optical technique that provides a synoptic picture of the water surface gradient over an area of water surface (Zhang & Cox 1994). These images of the surface gradient can be integrated to recover the shape of the water surface and find the two-dimensional wavenumber spectrum. Waveforms and two-dimensional st...
متن کاملCapillary-gravity waves generated by a slow moving object.
We investigate theoretically and experimentally the capillary-gravity waves created by a small object moving steadily at the water-air interface along a circular trajectory. It is well established that, for straight uniform motion, no steady waves appear at velocities below the minimum phase velocity c(min)=23 cm s(-1). We demonstrate that no such velocity threshold exists for a steady circular...
متن کاملWeak turbulent approach to the wind-generated gravity sea waves
We performed numerical simulation of the kinetic equation describing behavior of an ensemble of random-phase, spatially homogeneous gravity waves on the surface of the infinitely deep ocean. Results of simulation support the theory of weak turbulence not only in its basic points, but also in many details. The weak turbulent theory predicts that the main physical processes taking place in the wa...
متن کاملInvestigation of vertical wavenumber and frequency spectra of gravity-wave-induced vertical wind and temperature perturbations
233 hours of high-precision vertical wind and temperature measurements in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) were used to study the spectra of gravity wave perturbations in the mesopause region. The temperature spectra are generally consistent with the theoretical predictions of gravity wave theory. The averaged slope of the frequency (f) spectra is –1.83±0.08, while the slope of the v...
