Propagation of Axi-Symmetric Nonlinear Shallow Water Waves over Slowly Varying Depth
A problem in nonlinear water-wave propagation on the surface of an inviscid, stationary fluid is presented. The primary surface wave, suitably initiated at some radius, is taken to be a slowly evolving nonlinear cylindrical wave (governed by an appropriate Korteweg-de Vries equation); the depth is assumed to be varying in a purely radial direction. We consider a sech profile at an initial radiu...
متن کاملPropagation of obliquely incident water waves over a trench
The diffraction of obliquely incident surface waves by an asymmetric trench is investigated using linearized potential theory. A numerical solution is constructed by matching particular solutions for each subregion of constant depth along vertical boundaries ; the resulting matrix equation is solved numerically. Several cases where the trench-parallel wavenumber component in the incident-wave r...
متن کاملOn Slowly Varying Stokes Waves
ON SLOWLY VARYING STOKES WAVES by VINCENT HWA-HING CHU In this thesis investigations are made on the theory of a train of slowly modulated gravity waves propagating over uneven bottom topography. The primary object is to study the interplay of amplitude dispersion the frequency dispersion in waves on the surface of water where the depth is not too shallow compared to a typical wave length. The ...
متن کاملInteraction of surface waves with vorticity in shallow water.
Vortical flows in shallow water interact with long surface waves by virtue of the nonlinear terms of the fluid equations. Analytical formulae are derived that quantify the spontaneous generation of such waves by unsteady vorticity as well as the scattering of surface waves by vorticity. In a first Born approximation the radiated surface elevation is linearly related to the Fourier transform of ...
متن کاملSoliton turbulence in shallow water ocean surface waves.
We analyze shallow water wind waves in Currituck Sound, North Carolina and experimentally confirm, for the first time, the presence of soliton turbulence in ocean waves. Soliton turbulence is an exotic form of nonlinear wave motion where low frequency energy may also be viewed as a dense soliton gas, described theoretically by the soliton limit of the Korteweg-deVries equation, a completely int...
