- Title
FLUXES OF MASS, MOMENTUM AND ENERGY IN CURRENTS OF UNIFORM VORTICITY.
- Authors
BREVIK, I.; SOLLIE, R.
- Abstract
Linear water waves superimposed on an opposing current varying linearly down to a depth h are studied. The present work is a continuation of a previous paper of ours (Q. Jl Mech. appl. Math. 46 (1993) 117), in which the treatment was restricted to the case of deep currents only, exp (−2kh)≪1. Here, this restriction is removed. The fluxes of mass, momentum and energy are calculated, and the expression for the wave energy is given. The simplifications in the formalism obtained in the case of long wavelengths (kh ≪1) are studied.
