Volume-preserving Lagrangian averaging using polar factorization

Abhijeet Minz, Lois E. Baker, Jacques Vanneste

The generalised Lagrangian mean (GLM) theory of Andrews & McIntyre provides a powerful framework to study the interactions between waves and flows. A drawback of this theory is tha…

The U2H map explains the effect of (sub)mesoscale currents on significant wave height statistics

Han Wang, Ana B. Villas Bôas, Jacques Vanneste +1

Currents modulate the energy of surface gravity waves, leading to spatial inhomogeneities in significant wave height (SWH). Previous work indicates that the overall scale of the in…

Efficient Lagrangian averaging with exponential filters

Abhijeet Minz, Lois E. Baker, Hossein A. Kafiabad +1

Lagrangian averaging is a valuable tool for the analysis and modelling of multiscale processes in fluid dynamics. The numerical computation of Lagrangian (time) averages from simul…

Inhomogeneity-induced wavenumber diffusion

Michael R. Cox, Hossein A. Kafiabad, Jacques Vanneste

Inertia-gravity waves are scattered by background flows as a result of Doppler shift by a non-uniform velocity. In the WKB regime, the scattering process reduces to a diffusion in…

Lagrangian filtering for wave-mean flow decomposition

Lois E. Baker, Hossein A. Kafiabad, Cai Maitland-Davies +1

Geophysical flows are typically composed of wave and mean motions with a wide range of overlapping temporal scales, making separation between the two types of motion in wave-resolv…

Geometric approaches to Lagrangian averaging

Andrew D. Gilbert, Jacques Vanneste

Lagrangian averaging theories, most notably the Generalised Lagrangian Mean (GLM) theory of Andrews & McIntyre (1978), have been primarily developed in Euclidean space and Cartesia…

Scattering of surface waves by ocean currents: the U2H map

Han Wang, Ana B. Villas Bôas, Jacques Vanneste +1

Ocean turbulence at meso- and submesocales affects the propagation of surface waves through refraction and scattering, inducing spatial modulations in significant wave height (SWH)…

A surface-aware projection basis for quasigeostrophic flow

K. S. Smith, J. Vanneste

Recent studies indicate that altimetric observations of the ocean's mesoscale eddy field reflect the combined influence of surface buoyancy and interior potential vorticity anomali…
