Inviscid quasi-geostrophic flow over topography: testing statistical mechanical theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 April 2006
Abstract
Numerical simulations are employed in a detailed test of the statistical mechanical description of topographic turbulence. Predictions of steady flows correlated with topography are given particular attention. Agreement between numerical and statistical mechanical results is demonstrated for a large range of parameter values, and over an ensemble of random choices of topography and initial conditions.
