Surface gravity wave-mean flow interaction with comparable spatial scales. Part I: reduced wave equations
Basile Gallet, Alexandre Tlili
We consider deep-water surface gravity waves propagating above a background flow whose spatial scale is comparable to the wavelength, focusing on the regime where the flow is slow…

Equilibrium statistical mechanics of waves in inhomogeneous moving media
Alexandre Tlili, Basile Gallet
We adapt the microcanonical framework of equilibrium statistical mechanics to predict the statistics of short waves in inhomogeneous moving media. For steady inhomogeneities and ba…

Statistics of near-inertial waves over a background flow via quantum and statistical mechanics
Alexandre Tlili, Basile Gallet
We revisit the interaction of an initially uniform near-inertial wave (NIW) field with a steady background flow, with the goal of predicting the subsequent organization of the wave…
