Stratified Flow Over Topography: Steady Nonlinear Waves, Boundary Layer Instabilities, and Crater Topography
Soontiens, Nancy (University of Waterloo, 2013-11-29)This thesis investigates several aspects of stratified flow over isolated topography in ocean, lake, and atmospheric settings. Three major sub-topics are addressed: steady, inviscid internal waves trapped over topography ... -
Topographically generated internal waves and boundary layer instabilities
Soontiens, Nancy; Stastna, Marek; Waite, Michael L (American Institute of Physics, 2015-08)Flow over topography has been shown to generate finite amplitude internal waves upstream, over the topography and downstream. Such waves can interact with the viscous bottom boundary layer to produce vigorous instabilities. ...
