Barotropically induced interfacial waves in two-layer exchange flows over a sill
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two-layer exchange flows are observed in the channels/straits connecting two water bodies of different densities. This study examines the nature of the barotropic forcing and its effect on the interfacial waves in two-layer exchange flows over a smooth/break underwater sill. Experiments were conducted with different initial conditions, distinguishing the case of hydrostatic disequilibrium and the case of a global pressure-balanced state. The experiments demonstrate that the baroclinic exchange flow is dominated by the barotropic-forcing-induced oscillations. A simplified barotropic model is developed to predict the period of the barotropic oscillation with an excellent agreement with experimental measurements. Detailed velocity and flow-rate measurements also indicate the importance of the barotropic forcing in exchange flows. The effect of the superimposed barotropic forcing on the interfacial wave characteristics is also investigated. Large two-dimensional surge-like structures are observed during the experiments, whose generation is shown to be related to the flow-rate oscillations. The length scales of these structures is comparable with the total water depth and is shown to increase with increasing Reynolds numbers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
