| Zusammenfassung |
| The interaction of barotropic tides with Luzon Strait topography
generates westward propagating internal bores and solitary waves
trains which eventually shoal and dissipate on the western side of
the South China Sea. Two-dimensional numerical simulations of this
shoaling process at the site of the Asian Seas International
Acoustic Experiment (ASIAEX) have been undertaken in order to
investigate the sensitivity of the shoaling process to the
stratification and the underlying bathymetry, and to explore the
influence of rotation. A range of wave amplitudes are
considered. Comparisons with adiabatic shoaling waves are also made
and the potential impact of a non-slip boundary condition are
briefly explored. On the slope secondary solitary waves and mode-two
wave packets are generated which propagate towards the
shelf. Comparisons with observations made during the ASIAEX
experiment are made. |
