Air cushioning with a lubrication/ inviscid balance [PDF]
The air cushioning effect in the gap between an almost inviscid body of water and a nearby solid wall (or another body of water) is studied theoretically and is found to depend on predominantly lubricating forces in the air, in certain applications.

Topographically forced long waves on a sheared coastal current. Part 2. Finite amplitude waves [PDF]
This paper analyses the finite-amplitude flow of a constant-vorticity current past coastal topography in the long-wave limit. A forced finite-amplitude long-wave equation is derived to describe the evolution of the vorticity interface.

An intrusion layer in stationary incompressible fluids Part 2: A solitary wave [PDF]
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.

Internal wave generation in the presence of turning depths : laboratory models of the deep ocean [PDF]
textIn the ocean, internal gravity waves are generated by tidal flow over sea floor topography. An internal gravity wave is only able to freely propagate if the buoyancy frequency is greater than the driving frequency, where the buoyancy frequency is ...

A generalized reciprocal theorem for predicting the force and torque on bodies moving in an unhomogeneous flow at arbitrary reynolds number [PDF]
We present the main ideas behind the derivation and some applications of a theorem that parallels Lorentz’s reciprocal theorem and provides general expressions for the force and torque acting on a rigid body of arbitrary shape moving in an inhomogeneous ...
