It has been proved that ultrasonic energy can considerably increase the amount of oil recovery in an immiscible displacement process. Although many studies have been performed on investigating the roles of ultrasonic waves, based on the best of our knowledge, little attention has been paid to evaluate wave attenuation parameter, which is an important parameter in the determination of the energy...

from millennial variations of the thermohaline circulation to the rapid timescales of surface gravity waves. LargeAn explicit time integration of the primitive equations, which are often used for numerical ocean simulations, would be subject to a scale ocean circulation models typically eliminate the fastshort time step limit imposed by the rapidly varying external gravity est oscillations thro...

In this paper wave transformation in a submerged sloped breakwater and its hydraulic performance was simulated by developing a numerical model in Fortran. The code was established by combining porous flow and a two-phase model using VOF method. Modified Navier-Stokes and k-ε equations implemented to the model to simulate the flow in porous media. Cut cell method was modified to simulate...

We investigate the axial instability of the free-surface front of a viscous fluid in a horizontal cylinder rotating about its longitudinal axis. A simplified model equation for the evolution of the free surface is derived and includes the effects of gravity, capillarity, inertia, and viscosity. This equation is solved numerically to determine the base state with no axial variation, and a numeri...

We derive a wave-averaged potential vorticity equation describing the evolution of strongly stratified, rapidly rotating quasi-geostrophic (QG) flow in a field of inertia-gravity internal waves. The derivation relies on a multiple-time-scale asymptotic expansion of the Eulerian Boussinesq equations. Our result confirms and extends the theory of Bühler & McIntyre (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 354, 1998,...
