Long-Wave Instability in Marginally Stable Shear Flows
The reductive perturbation theories used by physicists typically fall into two classes: adiabatic elimination of strongly damped variables in dissipative systems, or averaging over fast oscillations in finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems. Our interest here is a third class which in a peculiar way combines aspects of both methods; this is the development of reduced descriptions for instabilit...
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 کاملThree-dimensional Instability of Internal Gravity Wave Beams
Takeshi Kataoka and T. R. Akylas Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology [email protected] Abstract The stability of isolated and interacting internal gravity wave beams to three-dimensional perturbations is studied, based on the beam–mean-flow interaction equations derived in Kataoka and Akylas (2015). These two-dimensional states are found to be unstable as ...
متن کاملFocusing of an inertia - gravity wave packet by a baroclinic shear flow
We investigate the interaction of a small-amplitude internal gravity wave packet in a rotating fluid with a baroclinic shear flow. Ray equations and three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations are solved for this purpose. The shear flow has a simple structure and depends separately on the vertical and horizontal coordinates. We focus on the situation where the int...
متن کاملGeneration of ripples by shear - flow instability
We consider the linear stability of a monotonically decreasing, concave shear flow beneath a free surface with gravity and capillarity. An archetypical example, with current U = U0 exp(z/h), is solved analytically and studied in detail. Comparison with several other smooth velocity profiles indicates that the exponential profile is representative of all smooth monotonic concave velocity profile...
