Long Interfacial Waves in a Vortex Sheet
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interfacial non-linear waves propagating in a two layer medium are qualitatively changed due to the action of a vortex-sheet. In the frame-work of the so-called shallow water theory, linear wave speeds of the barocline modes are determined . The differential equation describing the interface elevation is derived . The coefficients of this equation are functions of the stratification, the depth ratio between the two layers and the magnitude of the shear velocity . Finally the different propagation regimes of the waves are obtained .

Traveling Waves from the Arclength Parameterization: Vortex Sheets with Surface Tension
We study traveling waves for the vortex sheet with surface tension. We use the anglearclength description of the interface rather than Cartesian coordinates, and we utilize an arclength parameterization as well. In this setting, we make a new formulation of the traveling wave ansatz. For this problem, it should be possible for traveling waves to overturn, and notably, our formulation does allow...
متن کاملComputation of Periodic Instability of Stratified Fluid Using Continuous Vortex Sheet Dynamics
A new model is proposed to compute the time evolution of the interface between two inviscid fluids moving with uniform velocity, subjected to instabilities of the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) type. In this model, the interface is represented by a Continuous Vortex Sheet (CVS) which both preserves the full nonlinearity of interfacial boundary conditions and provides a higher-order representation of the...
متن کاملWell-Posedness of Two-Dimensional Hydroelastic Waves
A well-posedness theory for the initial value problem for hydroelastic waves in two spatial dimensions is presented. This problem, which arises in numerous applications, describes the evolution of a thin elastic membrane in a two-dimensional potential flow. We use a model for the elastic sheet that accounts for bending stresses and membrane tension, but which neglects the mass of the membrane. ...
متن کاملSimulation of vortex sheet roll-up: chaos, azimuthal waves, ring merger
This article reviews some recent simulations of vortex sheet roll-up using the vortex blob method. In planar and axisymmetric flow, the roll-up is initially smooth but irregular small-scale features develop later in time due to the onset of chaos. A numerically generated Poincaré section shows that the vortex sheet flow resembles a chaotic Hamiltonian system with resonance bands and a heterocli...
متن کاملA Study on Wave Breaking and Wave Interaction
This paper aims to apply two methods namely, Vortex Method and Higher Order Spectral Method to study the wave breaking and wave interaction. The breaking of shallow water gravity wave is performed using Vortex method, while the interaction between two gravity waves is carried out using Higher Order Spectral (HOS) method. In Vortex method an interface defined by a density or velocity discontinui...
