Nonlinear internal waves on the continental shelf: observations and KdV solutions

Creator:

O'Driscoll, Kieran

Abstract:

Numerical solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and extended Korteweg-de Vries (eKdV) equations are used to model the transformation of a sinusoidal internal tide as it propagates across the continental shelf. The ocean is idealized as being a two-layer fluid, justified by the fact that most of the oceanic internal...
