A Buoyancy–Vorticity Wave Interaction Approach to Stratified Shear Flow
Motivated by the success of potential vorticity (PV) thinking for Rossby waves and related shear flow phenomena, this work develops a buoyancy–vorticity formulation of gravity waves in stratified shear flow, for which the nonlocality enters in the same way as it does for barotropic/baroclinic shear flows. This formulation provides a time integration scheme that is analogous to the time integrat...
متن کاملNonlinear Hamiltonian Waves with Constant Frequency and Surface Waves on Vorticity Discontinuities
Waves with constant, nonzero linearized frequency form an interesting class of nondispersive waves whose properties differ from those of nondispersive hyperbolic waves. We propose an inviscid Burgers-Hilbert equation as a model equation for such waves, and give a dimensional argument to show that it models Hamiltonian surface waves with constant frequency. Using the method of multiple scales, w...
متن کاملExplicit Solutions for a Long-Wave Model with Constant Vorticity
Explicit parametric solutions are found for a nonlinear long-wave model describing steady surface waves propagating on an inviscid fluid of finite depth in the presence of a linear shear current. The exact solutions, along with an explicit parametric form of the pressure and streamfunction give a complete description of the shape of the free surface and the flow in the bulk of the fluid. The ex...
متن کاملDispersion relation for water waves with non-constant vorticity
We derive the dispersion relation for linearized small-amplitude gravity waves for various choices of non-constant vorticity. To the best of our knowledge, this relation is only known explicitly in the case of constant vorticity. We provide a wide range of examples including polynomial, exponential, trigonometric and hyperbolic vorticity functions.
متن کاملNearly-hamiltonian Structure for Water Waves with Constant Vorticity
We show that the governing equations for two-dimensional gravity water waves with constant non-zero vorticity have a nearly-Hamiltonian structure, which becomes Hamiltonian for steady waves.
