The nonlinear dynamics of equatorially trapped waves and their interactions with complicated topography and basin boundaries will be studied in the laboratory. The new experimental technique utilizes the magnetic body force of ferrofluids to achieve the full spherical geometry of geophysical flows. A complementary finite-difference numerical model of shallow water waves on a sphere will be used to aid in interpreting the laboratory results.

赤道俘获波的非线性动力学及其与复杂地形和盆地边界的相互作用将在实验室中进行研究。新的实验技术利用铁磁流体的磁体力来实现地球物理流的全球面几何。一个互补的有限差分数值模型浅水波浪在一个球体将被用来帮助解释实验室的结果。
