Examination of Gravity Waves over Topography Using Long's Equation
PúblicoConteúdo disponível para baixar
open in viewerThis project models the behavior of steady gravity waves in the atmosphere over terrain using Long's Equation. We examine the derivation and assumptions behind the equation and determine how its solution depends on its parameters and the height of the terrain. We solved the equation both analytically using perturbation methods and numerically using the finite difference method with a sponge layer to prevent unrealistic wave reflection at the boundary.
