Modal decompostion of internal tides -- comparison between theory of Petrelis et al., experiment and numerics

Modal decompostion of internal tides -- comparison between theory of Petrelis et al., experiment and numerics

The figure shows the first three way comparison between theory (solid line), physical experiment (triangles) and numerics (red circles) for the modal decomposition of modes 1, 2 and 3 for uniformly stratified flow over a compact Gaussian ridge. Further numerical runs are presently being conducted and a more complete comparison should be available within the coming week(s).The top three subplots give the modal amplitude whereas the bottom three specify the corresponding phase.
