Direct Numerical Simulations of the Degeneration and Shear Instability of Large and Small Amplitude Basin Scale Internal Waves at Varied Aspect Ratios
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-14)This thesis presents high resolution simulations of the degeneration and shear instability of standing waves, or seiches, of varying amplitudes and aspect ratios in a continuously stratified fluid. It is well known that ... -
High resolution simulations of mode-2 internal waves: transport, shoaling, and the influence of rotation
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-23)Internal waves are a universal feature in stratified flows. Of particular interest are Internal Solitary and Solitary-like Waves (ISWs) which may persist for long periods of time and travel great distances. In the ocean, ... -
Numerical Simulations of Shoaling Internal Solitary Waves of Elevation
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-13)We present high-resolution, two- and three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of laboratory-scale, fully nonlinear internal solitary waves of elevation shoaling onto and over a small-amplitude shelf. The three-dimensional, ...
