Recent experimental results from the drag wake of a dimpled sphere show that the observed wake growth and decay are inconsistent with a widely accepted, 100-year-old scaling law for these quantities. While previous experiments have found a similar di

Moist Rayleigh–Benard convection with water saturated boundaries is explored using a One-Dimensional Turbulence model. The system involves both temperature and water vapour pressure as driving scalars. The emphasis of the work is on a supersaturati

Weakly nonlinear theory is used to explore the dynamics of a single-mode internal tide in variable stratification with rotation. Nonlinear self-interaction in variable stratification generates a perturbation which is forced with double the original f

Climate change in the Arctic Ocean will subject its thermohaline staircases to increased internal wave activity. An exploration of the nonlinear conversion of incident waves to trapped staircase waves identifies wave number and frequency bands where

Weakly nonlinear theory is used to explore the effect of vertical shear on surface gravity waves in three dimensions. An idealized piecewise-linear shear profile motivated by wind-driven profiles and ambient currents in the ocean is used. It is shown

Recent observations from the South China Sea have demonstrated that semi-diurnal tides sometimes generate a double-frequency harmonic. Similar harmonic generation has been found in laboratory experiments and numerical simulations of internal wave bea

The interaction of an internal wave beam (IWB) with an idealized oceanic pycnocline is examined using two-dimensional fully nonlinear direct numerical simulations based on a spectral multidomain penalty method in the vertical direction. The phenomeno
