一个重要的动力学问题涉及海洋平衡流如何损失能量。最近的数值和分析研究表明，地形催化平衡流和各种不平衡现象之间的能量交换，这可能导致耗散。在这里，我们开发了一个通用的理论，预测亚中尺度和不平衡流生成的无粘平衡流与墙壁的相互作用。与原始方程为基础的数值实验的比较支持的理论的基本原则。
An important dynamical question involves how oceanic balanced flows lose energy. Recent numerical and analytical studies suggest topography catalyzes energy exchanges between balanced flows and a variety of unbalanced phenomena, which presumably leads to dissipation. We here develop a general theory of inviscid balanced flow interactions with walls that predicts submesoscale and unbalanced flow generation. Comparison with primitive equation-based numerical experiments supports the basic tenets of the theory.
