Frozen water waves over rough topographical bottoms.

چکیده
The propagation of surface water waves over rough topographical bottoms is investigated by the multiple scattering theory. It is shown that the waves can be localized spatially through the process of multiple scattering and wave interference, a peculiar wave phenomenon which has been previously discussed for frozen light in optical systems [Nature 390, 661 (1997)]]. This paper demonstrates that when frozen, the transmission of the waves falls off exponentially, and a cooperative behavior appears, fully supporting previous predictions. A graphic method is used to illustrate this distinct phase state in the wave propagation.

Shallow Water Waves over Polygonal Bottoms
The traditional shallow water model for waves propagating over varying bathymetry depends for its derivation on the asymptotic analysis of a Dirichlet-Neumann operator. This analysis however is restricted to smoothly varying topographies. We propose an adaptation to one dimensional polygonal bottoms using the conformal mapping idea of Hamilton and Nachbin. The asymptotic analysis of the Dirichl...
متن کاملEstimation of Hydrodynamic Force on Rough Circular Cylinders in Random Waves and Currents (RESEARCH NOTE)
Most of the Codes of Practice (API, BSI, DnV, NPD) uses Morison's equation to estimate hydrodynamic loads on fixed and moving offshore structures. The significant difference in the prediction of the loads mainly arises from the assumption of the values of hydrodynamic coefficients. In this paper by analysing a full scale set of data in large KC's numbers collected from Delta Wave Flume in the N...
متن کاملThe Water Waves Problem and Its Asymptotic Regimes
We derive here various equivalent mathematical formulations of the water waves problem (and some extensions to the two-fluids problem). We then propose a dimensionless version of these equations that is well adapted to the qualitative description of the solutions. The way we nondimensionalize the water waves equations relies on a rough analysis of their linearization around the rest state and s...
متن کاملPulse spreading and correlation loss in shallow water environments with rough sea surfaces and bottoms
Active sonar pulses suffer time-spreading, distortion, and de-correlation due to multipath propagation and reflections from rough boundaries. Correlation of the received distorted pulse with the transmitted pulse leads to degradation in pulse compression gain in comparison to the ideal case of a received pulse being simply a time-shifted, amplitude-scaled replica propagated along a single direc...
متن کاملAsymptotic shallow water models with non smooth topographies
We present new models to describe shallow water flows over non smooth topographies. The water waves problem is formulated as a system of two equations on surface quantities in which the topography is involved in a Dirichlet-Neumann operator. Starting from this formulation and using the joint analyticity of this operator with respect to the surface and the bottom parametrizations, we derive a no...
