Description
Summary:A wake is a wave pattern on the water surface, downstream of an object in a ow. In this talk we simulate the appearance of a wake behind a circular island. We implement the staggered scheme of order-two to solve the full non-linear SWE model. External forcing terms incorporated in the simulation are bottom friction, wind friction, and turbulence diusion. We simulate the development of ow due to wind friction in a long canal with a circular island. For laminar ow with small Reynold number, smooth pattern develops surrounding the obstacle. Here, the Reynold number is the ratio between nonlinearity and diusion. For simulation with large Reynold number, the ow become unstable and breaks up into an irregular turbulent wake, and swirling vortex sheets develop in the wake behind the island. Another simulation of wind generated ow pass over a slit is also conducted. In the simulation, the ow forms a horn with a pair of central points.
