Stokes drift and its discontents
Jacques Vanneste, William R. Young
The Stokes velocity , defined approximately by Stokes (1847, Trans. Camb. Philos. Soc., 8, 441-455), and exactly via the Generalized Lagrangian Mean, is dive…
Interaction of near-inertial waves with an anticyclonic vortex
Hossein A. Kafiabad, Jacques Vanneste, William R. Young
Anticyclonic vortices focus and trap near-inertial waves so that near-inertial energy levels are elevated within the vortex core. Some aspects of this process, including the nonlin…
The Nusselt numbers of horizontal convection
Cesar. B. Rocha, Navid C. Constantinou, Stefan G. Llewellyn Smith +1
We consider the problem of horizontal convection in which non-uniform buoyancy, , is imposed on the top surface of a container and all other surfaces are insulating…
The advection-condensation model and water vapour PDFs
Jai Sukhatme, William R. Young
The statistically steady humidity distribution resulting from an interaction of advection, modeled as an uncorrelated random walk of moist parcels on an isentropic surface, and a v…
Energy-Enstrophy Stability of beta-plane Kolmogorov Flow with Drag
Yue-Kin Tsang, William R. Young
We develop a new nonlinear stability method, the Energy-Enstrophy (EZ) method, that is specialized to two-dimensional hydrodynamics; the method is applied to a beta-plane flow driv…
