Shear wave velocity is an important parameter for determining lithology, porosity and the dynamic properties in geo-mechanical studies. However, due to time and cost limitations, shear wave velocity is not available at all intervals and in…
We develop a new methodology for the deterministic forecasting of directional ocean surface waves, based on nonlinear frequency corrections. These frequency corrections can be pre-computed based on measured energy density spectra, and…
The leading locally observable effect of a long-wavelength metric perturbation corresponds to a tidal field. We derive the tidal field induced by scalar, vector, and tensor perturbations, and use second order perturbation theory to…
Refraction of a Longuet-Higgins Gaussian sea by random ocean currents creates persistent local variations in average energy and wave action. These variations take the form of lumps or streaks, and they explicitly survive dispersion over…
Waves of spanwise velocity imposed at the walls of a plane turbulent channel flow are studied by Direct Numerical Simulations. We consider sinusoidal waves of spanwise velocity which vary in time and are modulated in space along the…

Rapid fluctuations of static pressure away from flow boundaries in a low-speed vortical flow, are extracted using the measured velocity field. The technique departs from prior work in not requiring far boundary values. Stereo Particle Image…

Linear shear flow bounded by a plane wall is an idealization that occurs in microfluidic devices and many other applications. Perfect plane approximation neglects surface irregularities and discrete particles adsorbed at the surface. Here…
This paper is a study of the water wave problem in a two-dimensional domain of infinite depth in the presence of nonzero constant vorticity. A goal is to describe the effects of uniform shear flow on the modulation of weakly nonlinear…
Radial differential rotation is an important factor in stellar dynamo theory. In the Sun, helioseismology has revealed a near surface shear layer in the upper 5 to 10% of the convection zone. At low to midlatitudes, the rotation velocity…
The propagation of surface water waves interacting with a current and an uneven bottom is studied. Such a situation is typical for ocean waves where the winds generate currents in the top layer of the ocean. The role of the bottom…
The turbulent magnetic diffusivity tensor is determined in the presence of rotation or shear. The question is addressed whether dynamo action from the shear-current effect can explain large-scale magnetic field generation found in…
Estimation of near-wall turbulence in channel flow from outer observations is investigated using adjoint-variational data assimilation. We first consider fully resolved velocity data, starting at a distance from the wall. By enforcing the…
Steady meridional flow makes no first-order perturbation to the frequencies of helioseismic normal modes. It does, however, Doppler shift the local wavenumber, thereby distorting the eigenfunctions. For high-degree modes, whose peaks in a…
The models currently used in the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) either do not consider a relative motion between the center-of-mass of the source and the observer, or usually only consider its effect on the frequencies of GWs.…
