Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guidelines for interpreting nondirectional wave energy spectra are presented. A simple method is given for using the spectrum to estimate a significant height and period for each major wave train in most sea states. The method allows a more detailed and accurate description of ocean surface waves than that given by a single significant height and period, yet it eliminates much of the formidable detail of a full spectrum. An example problem illustrating application of the method is presented. Spectral analysis and display techniques, and the natural variation of spectra in space and time, are discussed. (Author).

Book Synopsis Investigation of Internal Wave Spectra Due to Observed Interactions by : Benjamin Lee Hillyard
Download or read book Investigation of Internal Wave Spectra Due to Observed Interactions written by Benjamin Lee Hillyard and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observational data are analyzed and decomposed to reveal internal ocean waves and their interactions with one another. Particularly, the interaction of small-scale internal waves with a large inertia wave packet is examined. Using the governing internal wave equations, an analysis is made of the energy propagation of a small scale internal wave with a large-scale inertia wave. With that, an assessment is made of the frequency of occurrence of various encounter types. Next, the possibility of energy transfer during an interaction is explored. The relative energy of the small wave before interacting with the large-scale inertia wave is calculated and compared to the relative energy during and after the interaction. Performing this analysis on multiple wave-wave interactions seen within the observational data set provides a look into the behavior of these wave types. Additionally, the dissipation within each of the corresponding time-space regions is calculated, giving an alternative explanation other than energy transfer among waves for the disparity in energy. Dissipation estimates and energy results are extrapolated to create a general energy transfer and dissipation estimate in the ocean resultant from these interaction types. A two dimensional non-linear method presents a comparison between the observational data findings and the expected computed result. From there, conclusions are drawn synthesizing the results from the observational and numerical analyses. It was concluded that for observational small waves propagating in the same direction as the background shear, a loss was seen in the wave's energy. For interactions wherein the small wave propagated in the opposite direction, the observational small wave energy increased through the interaction. Within the numerical findings, the small wave energy in same direction interactions was partially lost while the small wave energy in opposite direction interactions was both lost and gained depending on the encounter type which encounter types could be confirmed in observations. The dissipation analysis showed the greatest dissipation during the interaction between a small wave and background shear so the gains seen occurred when the types of encounters expecting a gain were present.

Book Synopsis On the Interpretation of Fetch-limited Wave Spectra as Measured by an Airborne Sea-swell Recorder by : T. P. Barnett
Download or read book On the Interpretation of Fetch-limited Wave Spectra as Measured by an Airborne Sea-swell Recorder written by T. P. Barnett and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A section of sea surface that had been subjected to a constant, offshore wind was profiled using an airborne radar wave profiler. The profiles extended from the coast out a distance of 190 nautical miles. From this data estimates of the spectrum of encounter of the sea surface were obtained for a number of different fetch lengths. By solving a singular Fredholm integral equation of the first kind, it was possible to retrieve the true wave spectrum as a function of fetch length. Spectral growth curves were then obtained and analyzed in light of recent theories of wave generation. The data lend support to the previous conclusions of Snyder and Cox (1966) regarding two recent theories of wave generation. Specifically, the data are consistent with the 'resonance' theory of wave growth (Phillips, 1957), but at the same time suggests that wave growth through an instability mechanism (Miles, 1957) is yet to be understood. One of the most significant results of this study was that higher frequency waves grow past or 'overshoot' their eventual equilibrium energy value. After 'overshooting' they then rapidly decay back to an equilibrium range. (Author).

Book Synopsis The Statistical Anatomy of Ocean Wave Spectra by : Leon E. Borgman

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statistical variations in wave energy spectral estimates for hurricane waves are examined empirically for 12 separate intervals of wave records measured during Hurricane Carla in September 1961. Measurements were made on a Chevron Oil Company platform in South Timbalier Block 63, Gulf of Mexico, at a water depth of 100 feet. Hurricane waves were chosen for the analysis because these waves show, in exaggerated form, the effects of departures from linearity on the statistical variability in spectral estimates. This report gives the analysis for Hurricane Carla and develops certain implications and consequences of the empirical results. (Author).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the human organism is itself an open system, we are naturally curious about the behavior of other open systems with fluxes of matter, energy or information. Of the possible open systems, it is those endowed with many degrees of freedom and strongly deviating from equilibrium that are most challenging. A simple but very significant example of such a system is given by developed turbulence in a continuous medium, where we can discern astonishing features of universality. This two-volume monograph deals with the theory of turbulence viewed as a general physical phenomenon. In addition to vortex hydrodynamic turbulence, it considers various cases of wave turbulence in plasmas, magnets, atmosphere, ocean and space. A sound basis for discussion is provided by the concept of cascade turbulence with relay energy transfer over different scales and modes. We shall show how the initial cascade hypothesis turns into an elegant theory yielding the Kolmogorov spectra of turbulence as exact solutions. We shall describe the further development of the theory discussing stability prob lems and modes of Kolmogorov spectra formation, as well as their matching with sources and sinks. This volume is dedicated to developed wave turbulence in different media.
