An approximate dispersion relation is derived and presented for linear surface waves atop a shear current whose magnitude and direction can vary arbitrarily with depth. The approximation, derived to first order of deviation from potential flow, is shown to produce good approximations at all wavelengths for a wide range of naturally occuring shear flows as well as widely used model flows. The relation reduces in many cases to a 3D generalization of the much used approximation by Skop [1987], developed further by Kirby & Chen [1989], but is shown to be more robust, succeeding in situations where the Kirby & Chen model fails. The two approximations incur the same numerical cost and difficulty. While the Kirby & Chen approximation is excellent for a wide range of currents, the exact criteria for its applicability have not been known. We explain the apparently serendipitous success of the latter and derive proper conditions of applicability for both approximate dispersion relations. Our new model has a greater range of applicability. A second order approximation is also derived. It greatly improves accuracy, which is shown to be important in difficult cases. It has an advantage over the corresponding 2nd order expression proposed by Kirby & Chen that its criterion of accuracy is explicitly known, which is not currently the case for the latter to our knowledge. Our 2nd order term is also arguably significantly simpler to implement, and more physically transparent, than its sibling due to Kirby & Chen.
We study dispersion properties of linear surface gravity waves propagating in an arbitrary direction atop a current profile of depth-varying magnitude using a piecewise linear approximation, and develop a robust numerical framework for practical calc
Expiratory events, such as coughs, are often pulsatile in nature and result in vortical flow structures that transport respiratory particles. In this work, direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent pulsatile jets, coupled with Lagrangian particl
We present a modification of a recently developed volume of fluid method for multiphase problems, so that it can be used in conjunction with a fractional step-method and fast Poisson solver, and validate it with standard benchmark problems. We then c
We investigate the weakly nonlinear dynamics of transient gravity waves at infinite depth under the influence of a shear current varying linearly with depth. An analytical solution is permitted via integration of the Euler equations. Although similar
We present a theoretical and numerical framework -- which we dub the Direct Integration Method (DIM) -- for simple, efficient and accurate evaluation of surface wave models allowing presence of a current of arbitrary depth dependence, and where bathy
