三维旋转分层流中非线性惯性-重力波-模态相互作用

Nonlinear inertia-gravity wave-mode interactions in three dimensional rotating stratified flows

Mark Remmel, Jai Sukhatme, Leslie M. Smith

摘要:

研究了三维旋转分层流体中惯性-重力波模式的动力学行为。我们首先推导出一个简化的PDE,GGG模型,只包括波模相互作用。原则上,将该模型与全旋转Boussinesq系统进行比较,可以衡量波-涡-波与波-波-波相互作用在确定波模能量的传递和分布方面的重要性。正如在许多大气-海洋现象中一样,我们在倾斜的纵横比域(H/L)中工作,Fr = Ro < 1,因此Bu = 1。我们的重点是在随机大尺度强迫的影响下的波模能量和它的谱标度的平衡。正如预期的那样,当强迫施加到所有模式时,Fr=Ro ~ 0.05和H/L=1/5,波模式能量平衡,其频谱按幂律缩放。对于相同的参数,当强迫仅限于波模式时,能量在整个系统以及GGG子系统中无法达到平衡。这清楚地说明了涡模在决定波模能量分布中的重要性。继续进行第二组模拟,即对于在具有H/L=1/3的较小偏斜纵横比域中的较大Fr=Ro ~ 0.1,我们观察到GGG子系统的能量平衡。此外,强迫仅限于波模式的完整系统也平衡,两者都产生相同的能量谱。因此,很明显,波-波-波相互作用在中等Ro,Fr和纵横比的整体动力学中起作用。除了理论上的问题,这些结果突出了在模拟现实的地球物理现象时,正确解决波模相互作用的困难。

英文摘要:

We investigate the dynamics of inertia-gravity wave modes in 3D rotating stratified fluids. We start by deriving a reduced PDE, the GGG model, consisting of only wave-mode interactions. In principle, comparing this model to the full rotating Boussinesq system allows us to gauge the importance of wave-vortical-wave vs. wave-wave-wave interactions in determining the transfer and distribution of wave-mode energy. As in many atmosphere-ocean phenomena we work in a skewed aspect ratio domain (H/L) with Fr = Ro < 1 such that Bu = 1. Our focus is on the equilibration of wave-mode energy and its spectral scaling under the influence of random large-scale forcing. As anticipated, when forcing is applied to all modes, with Fr=Ro ~ 0.05 and H/L=1/5, the wave-mode energy equilibrates and its spectrum scales as a power-law. For the same parameters, when forcing is restricted to only wave modes, the energy fails to equilibrate in both the full system as well as the GGG subsystem at resolutions we can achieve. This cleary demonstrates the importance of the vortical mode in determining the wave-mode energy distribution. Proceeding to the second set of simulations, i.e. for the larger Fr=Ro ~ 0.1 in a less skewed aspect ratio domain with H/L=1/3, we observe that the energy of the GGG subsystem equilibrates. Further, the full system with forcing restricted to wave modes also equilbrates and both yield identical energy spectra. Thus it is clear that the wave-wave-wave interactions play a role in the overall dynamics at moderate Ro, Fr and aspect ratios. Apart from theoretical concerns, these results highlight the difficulty in properly resolving wave-mode interactions when simulating realistic geophysical phenomena.
