Evolution of Spectra for Mechanical and Wind Waves in a Large Tank
Vladislav Polnikov, Fangli Qiao, Hongyu Ma +1
Empirical spectra for mechanical and wind waves measured in a large tank of the First Institute of Oceanography of China are presented. Analysis for the first and the second type o…
Asymptotes of the nonlinear transfer and the swell spectrum in the frame of the kinetic equation
Vladislav G. Polnikov, Fangli Qiao, Yong Teng
The kinetic equation for a gravity wave spectrum is solved numerically to study the high frequencies asymptotes for the one-dimensional nonlinear energy transfer and the variabilit…
Semi-phenomenological model for a wind-drift current
Vladislav G. Polnikov
Some data of the drift current, Ud, measured on a wavy surface of water in a laboratory and the field, are briefly described. Empirical formulas for Ud are given, and their incompl…
Numerical studying mechanics of a stationary range formation in the wind-wave spectrum
Vladislav G. Polnikov, Fangli Qiao, Jing Lu
The process of a stationary range formation in the wind-wave spectrum is investigated numerically. The evolution equation for the two-dimensional wind-wave spectrum is numerically…
Integrated model for a wave boundary layer
Vladislav Polnikov
In the paper a new version of semi-phenomenological model is constructed, which allows to calculate the friction velocity u* via the spectrum of waves S and the wind at the standar…
