Abstract
Using small-amplitude expansions, we discuss nonlinear effects in the reflection from a sloping wall of a time-harmonic (frequency $\omega$ ) plane-wave beam of finite cross-section in a uniformly stratified Boussinesq fluid with constant buoyancy frequency $N_{0}$ . The linear solution features the incident and a reflected beam, also of frequency $\omega$ , that is found on the same (opposite) side to the vertical as the incident beam if the angle of incidence relative to the horizontal is less (greater) than the wall inclination. As each of these beams is an exact nonlinear solution, nonlinear interactions are confined solely in the vicinity of the wall where the two beams meet. At higher orders, this interaction region acts as a source of a mean and higher-harmonic disturbances with frequencies $n\omega$ ( $n\,{=}\,2,3,\ldots$ ); for $n\omega\,{<}\,N_{0}$ the latter radiate in the far field, forming additional reflected beams along $\sin^{-1}(n\omega/N_{0})$ to the horizontal. Depending on the flow geometry, higher-harmonic beams can be found on the opposite side of the vertical from the primary reflected beam. Using the same approach, we also discuss collisions of two beams propagating in different directions. Nonlinear interactions in the vicinity of the collision region induce secondary beams with frequencies equal to the sum and difference of those of the colliding beams. The predictions of the steady-state theory are illustrated by specific examples and compared against unsteady numerical simulations.

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 it
