Description for Nonlinear Internal Waves in Lakes
Paperback. Internal wave dynamics in lakes (and oceans) is an important physical element in the geophysical fluid mechanics of the world's 'quiescent' water bodies. This volume examines the issue through cutting-edge nonlinear internal dynamics and field case studies. Editor(s): Hutter, Kolumban. Series: Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics. Num Pages: 296 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHD; PHU; PHVG; RBKF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 16. Weight in Grams: 456.
Internal wave dynamics in lakes (and oceans) is an important physical component of geophysical fluid mechanics of ‘quiescent’ water bodies of the Globe. The formation of internal waves requires seasonal stratification of the water bodies and generation by (primarily) wind forces. Because they propagate in basins of variable depth, a generated wave field often experiences transformation from large basin-wide scales to smaller scales. As long as this fission is hydrodynamically stable, nothing dramatic will happen. However, if vertical density gradients and shearing of the horizontal currents in the metalimnion combine to a Richardson number sufficiently small (< ¼), the light ... Read more
