Subcritical, transcritical and supercritical flows over a step
Free-surface flow over a bottom topography with an asymptotic depth change (a `step') is considered for di erent ranges of Froude numbers varying from subcritical, transcritical, to supercritical. For the subcritical case, a linear model indicates that a train of transient waves propagates upstream and eventually alters the conditions there. This leading-order upstream influence is shown to hav...
متن کاملGeneration of internal undular bores by transcritical flow over topography
In both the ocean and the atmosphere, the interaction of a density stratified flow with topography can generate large-amplitude, horizontally propagating internal solitary waves. Often these waves appear as a wave-train, or undular bore. In this article we focus on the situation when the flow is critical, that is, the flow speed is close to that of a linear long wave mode. In the weakly nonline...
متن کاملTranscritical shallow-water flow past topography: finite-amplitude theory
We consider shallow-water flow past a broad bottom ridge, localized in the flow direction, using the framework of the forced Su–Gardner (SG) system of equations, with a primary focus on the transcritical regime when the Froude number of the oncoming flow is close to unity. These equations are an asymptotic long-wave approximation of the full Euler system, obtained without a simultaneous expansi...
متن کاملTidal Conversion by Subcritical Topography
Analytical estimates of the rate at which energy is extracted from the barotropic tide at topography and converted into internal gravity waves are given. The ocean is idealized as an inviscid, vertically unbounded fluid on the f plane. The gravity waves are treated by linear theory and freely escape to z 5 `. Several topographies are investigated: a sinusoidal ripple, a set of Gaussian bumps, a...
متن کاملFrontal Interaction with Mesoscale Topography
A two-dimensional, hydrostatic, nearly adiabatic primitive equation model is used to study the evolution of a front passing across topography. Frontogenesis is forced by shearing deformation associated with the nonlinear evolution of an Eady wave. This study extends previous work by including an upper-level potential vorticity (PV) anomaly and a growing baroclinic wave in a baroclinically unsta...
