In this work we prove that the shallow water flow, subject to strong wind forcing and linearized around an adequate stationary profile, develops for large times closed trajectories due to the propagation of Rossby waves, while Poincar\'e…
The impact of a turbulent flow on wind-driven oceanic near-inertial waves is examined using a linearised shallow-water model of the mixed layer. Modelling the flow as a homogeneous and stationary random process with spatial scales…
We study the propagation of both low- and high-amplitude ring-shaped sound waves in a 2D square lattice of acoustic waveguides with Helmholtz resonators. We show that the inclusion of the Helmholtz resonators suppresses the inherent…
