The Generation of Nonlinear Internal Waves [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Nonlinear internal waves are found in many parts of the world ocean. Their widespread distribution is a result of their origin in the barotropic tide and in the variety of ways they can be generated, including by lee waves, tidal beams, resonance, plumes,

LONG NONLINEAR INTERNAL WAVES [PDF]
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2006 Over the past four decades, the combination of in situ and remote sensing observations has demonstrated that long nonlinear internal solitary-like waves are ubiquitous features of coastal oceans. The following provides an overview of the properties of steady internal solitary waves and the transient processes of wave generation and evolution ...

Models for strongly-nonlinear evolution of long internal waves in a two-layer stratification [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2007 Models describing the evolution of long internal waves are proposed that are based on different polynomial approximations of the exact expression for the phase speed of uni-directional, fully-nonlinear, infinitely-long waves in the two-layer model of a ...

High-Frequency Nonlinear Internal Waves Around The Philippines [PDF]
Oceanography, 2011 A study of satellite imagery over the Philippines undertaken as part of the US Office of Naval Research Philippine Straits Experiment (PhilEx) found significant high-frequency nonlinear internal wave activity in the waters around the Philippine ...

Nonlinear internal waves in the South China Sea: Observation of the conversion of depression internal waves to elevation internal waves [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2003 The conversion of depression nonlinear internal solitons to elevation internal waves has been observed twice at the South China Sea continental shelf break. Shipboard X‐band radar, tow‐yo CTD, ADCP and high frequency acoustic flow visualization of the process are presented. The data focuses on up slope propagation of depression internal solitons from a

Multimodal structure of baroclinic tides in the South China Sea [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2010 The modelling of baroclinic tides generated in the northern South China Sea is studied using a fully-nonlinear non-hydrostatic numerical model. The focus of the modelling efforts was on the vertical structure of internal waves in the vicinity of the ...

Interactions Between Nonlinear Internal Ocean Waves and the Atmosphere
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 The heterogeneity in surface roughness caused by transient, nonlinear internal ocean waves is readily observed in coastal waters. However, the quantifiable impact this heterogeneity has on the marine atmospheric surface layer has not been documented.

Analytical and numerical investigation of nonlinear internal gravity waves [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2001 The propagation of long, weakly nonlinear internal waves in a stratified gas is studied. Hydrodynamic equations for an ideal fluid with the perfect gas law describe the atmospheric gas behaviour. If we neglect the term Ͽ dw/dt (product of the density

Long solitary internal waves in stable stratifications [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2004 Observations of internal solitary waves over an antarctic ice shelf (Rees and Rottman, 1994) demonstrate that even large amplitude disturbances have wavelengths that are bounded by simple heuristic arguments following from the Scorer parameter based on ...

An Effect of Electrokinetics Phenomena on Nonlinear Wave Propagation in Bubbly Liquids
International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2021 A study of nonlinear waves in liquid-gas mixtures with the consideration of internal effects is an important problem of both the fundamental and the applied fluid mechanics.
