EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF INTERNAL SOLITARY WAVES INTERACTION WITH SURFACE SOLITARY WAVES

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings
Internal solitary waves (ISWs) consist of a non-periodic single-crest profile resulting from the balance between non-linearity and dispersion. They can be a significant source of momentum transport in any stratified systems, such as oceans and estuaries. Previous experiments have primarily utilized lock- release mechanisms to generate internal solitary

Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

Advection of pollutants by internal solitary waves in oceanic and atmospheric stable stratifications [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 1998
When a pollutant is released into the ocean or atmosphere under turbulent conditions, even a steady release is captured by large eddies resulting in localized patches of high concentration of the pollutant.

A numerical wave-maker for internal solitary waves with timely updated mass source/sink terms

open access: yes, 2017
On the basis of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, a new numerical method is proposed to generate internal solitary waves (ISWs) of expected parameters by adding a source term above the interface and a sink term below the interface into the ...

Living Through a Changing Climate: Stress, Trauma, and Gendered Resilience Among Women in Coastal and Northern Ghana

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is reshaping everyday life in Ghana through coastal erosion, flooding, erratic rainfall, water scarcity, extreme heat, and agricultural insecurity. This study examines how these changes produce stress, trauma, and gendered resilience among women in Salakope and Choggu Yapalsi, two climate‐vulnerable communities in coastal and ...

Numerical Study of the Force Characteristics and Flow Field Patterns of a Cylinder in the Internal Solitary Wave

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The density of the ocean is unevenly distributed along the depth direction, showing a stratified structure. When there is an external disturbance, large-scale internal solitary waves are easily generated.

Efficient Harvesting of Irregular and Low‐Frequency Mechanical Energy via Hybridized Electromagnetic‐Triboelectric Systems

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable electronics necessitates sustainable power sources to replace the limited electrochemical battery. While mechanical energy harvesting offers a promising solution, traditional harvesters face challenges of irregular and low−frequency environmental sources. This review presents the

An intrusion layer in stationary incompressible fluids Part 2: A solitary wave

open access: yes, 2006
The propagation of a solitary wave in a horizontal fluid layer is studied. There is an interfacial free surface above and below this intrusion layer, which is moving at constant speed through a stationary density-stratified fluid system.

Breaking Inversion Symmetry via Vanadium Coordination Engineering in Bismuth Vanadium Selenites

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Vanadium coordination engineering induces symmetry breaking in bismuth selenites by transforming symmetry‐compensated VO6/VO5F units into directionally aligned VO5 polyhedra. The resulting non‐antiparallel vanadyl arrangement eliminates dipole cancellation and stabilizes a polar noncentrosymmetric framework with nonlinear optical activity.
