Laboratory Studies of Equatorial Dynamics

9709338奥尔森将在实验室研究赤道捕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。这项新的实验技术利用磁流体的磁体力来实现地球物理流动的完全球面几何形状。将使用球面上浅水波的免费有限差分数值模型来帮助解释实验室结果。

9709338 Ohlsen 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 complimentary finite-difference numerical model of shallow water waves on a sphere will be used to aid in interpreting the laboratory results.
