Flow Separation on the β-plane
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-15)In non-rotating fluids, boundary-layer separation occurs when the nearly inviscid flow just outside a viscous boundary-layer experiences an appreciable deceleration due to a region of adverse pressure gradient. The fluid ... -
The Influence of Mesoscale Eddies on the Internal Tide
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-21)The barotropic tide dissipates a well established estimate of 2.5 TW of energy at the M2 frequency. Bottom topography is responsible for part of this dissipation, and the generation of the internal tide is also partly ...
