摘要:

我们提出了一个实验室实验研究的谐波,空间周期性的边界强迫从上面的密度分层,包括一个强分层,薄上层坐在上面的弱分层,深下层的内部波场的结果。在线性状态下,与在上层中激发的相对高频率的内波相关联的能通量由于波场的倏逝衰减而被阻止进入下层。然而,在实验中,我们发现,在上层的参数分谐波不稳定性(PSI)的发展转移能量从强迫的主波到一对分谐波子波,每个子波能够穿透弱分层的下层。我们发现,在我们研究的区域,主波能量通量的$10\%$附近通过这种非线性波-波相互作用穿透到下层。

英文摘要:

We present the results of a laboratory experimental study of an internal wave field generated by harmonic, spatially-periodic boundary forcing from above of a density stratification comprising a strongly-stratified, thin upper layer sitting atop a weakly-stratified, deep lower layer. In linear regimes, the energy flux associated with relatively high frequency internal waves excited in the upper layer is prevented from entering the lower layer by virtue of evanescent decay of the wave field. In the experiments, however, we find that the development of parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) in the upper layer transfers energy from the forced primary wave into a pair of subharmonic daughter waves, each capable of penetrating the weakly-stratified lower layer. We find that around $10\%$ of the primary wave energy flux penetrates into the lower layer via this nonlinear wave-wave interaction for the regime we study.
