- Abstract:
- Global circulation models for weather prediction and climate modelling require accurate models of drag from mountains and sea mounts. This project aims to exploit recent advances in the analysis and computation of forced nonlinear waves together with knowledge from aerodynamical computations and theory to explain the physics and obtain semi-analytical models of rotating stratified environmental flows, considering in particular obstacles piercing isopycnal layers and discussing the important question of flow around as well as over mountain chains.
