A study of flow acceleration over a coastal headlandWilkinson, David R. 05 May 1978 (has links)
The thesis examines the applicability of a two-dimensional flow
acceleration model to describe a terrain-induced flow perturbation as
measured at Yaquina Head on the central Oregon coast. The geometry of
Yaquina Head together with the upstream wind values were used in estimating
hilltop winds. These estimates compare well with the observed wind
values.
A second method to estimate the hilltop winds was attempted by
developing a mean ratio of Yaquina Head winds to the upstream Yaquina
South Jetty winds. This ratio was taken from one winter's data and
used to estimate the next winter hilltop winds. The same upstream wind
values were used with this method as were used with the geometric model.
Statistical evaluation in the form of regression analysis was performed
to determine the ability of the geometric and statistical models
to estimate the hilltop wind on Yaquina Head. It was found that both
models did reasonably well but that neither model was appreciably better
than the other. / Graduation date: 1979

A finite element model of ocean circulationBermejo-Bermejo, Rodolfo January 1986 (has links)
Preliminary results of a two-layer quasi-geostrophic box model of a wind-driven ocean are presented. The new aspects of this work in relation with conventional eddy models are a finite element formulation of the quasi-geostrophic equations and the use of no-slip boundary condition on the horizontal solid boundaries.
In contrast to eddy resolving models that utilize free-slip boundary conditions our results suggest that the obtention of ocean eddies with the no-slip constraints requires a more restricted range of parameters, in particular much lower horizontal eddy viscosity eddy coefficients AH and higher Froude numbers F₁ and F₂. We show explicitly that a given range of parameters, which is eddy generating when the free-slip boundary condition is used, leads to a quasi-laminar flow in both, upper and lower, layers. An analytical model to interpret the numerical results is put forth. It is an extension of an earlier model of Ierley and Young (1983) in that the relative vorticity terms are of primary importance for the dynamics. Thus, it is shown that the boundary layer dynamics is active in the interior of the second layer, and it can be concluded from our method that for given F₁ and F₂ such that the lower layer geostrophic contours are closed, to the existence of the western boundary layer will prevent the homogenization of the potential vorticity so long as AH is large enough to stabilize the northwestern undulations of the flow. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate
