Internal Gravity Wave Generation by Vortex Wakes.

Abstract

During this time the investigation focused on various details relating to the numerical prediction of buoyant vortex wakes, and also on the prediction of radiative decay rates of atmospheric waves. A calculation of the complete vortex wake including buoyancy was not completed by the termination date. However, fundamental contributions were made on issues relating to numerical false viscosity effects at large Reynolds number, and to the prediction of the descent velocity of a closely interacting vortex pair.
