This document presents an attempt to obtain an asymptotic solution for the updraft/downdraft associated with Lee waves across the Assam-Burma hills for an idealized basic flow where stability and wind remain constant with height. The Assam-Burma hills are approximated by two elliptical barriers separated by a valley. Perturbation technique is applied to the governing equations, expressing the perturbation vertical velocity and streamline displacement as double integrals approximated as an asymptotic expansion. The results are found to be consistent and are compared to previous studies.
Enumeration and validation of hydrodynamic characteristics over plane and seIAEME Publication
This document summarizes a numerical study that simulated wave generation, propagation, and run-up over plane and serrated slopes with varying angles and wave heights. The study used the FUNWAVE model to simulate waves generated by a piston wavemaker and calculate dimensionless parameters like maximum run-up and reflection coefficient. Results found run-up was higher for a 30-degree slope and lower for a 45-degree slope. Slopes with serrations reduced run-up and reflection coefficient by around 30% and 20% respectively compared to plane slopes. The bed friction coefficient for serrated slopes was quantified using a Navier-Stokes solver.
A REVIEW OF NONLINEAR FLEXURAL-TORSIONAL VIBRATION OF A CANTILEVER BEAMijiert bestjournal
A beam is an elongated member,usually slender,intended to resist lateral loads by bending (Cook,1999). Structures such as antennas,helicopter rotor blades,aircraft wing s,towers and high rise buildings are examples of beams. These beam-like structures are typically subjected to dynamic loads. Therefore,the vibration of beams is of particular interest to the engineer. The paper reviews the derivation by Crespo da Silva and Glyn (1978) for the nonlinear flexural-flexural-torsional vibration of a cant ilever beam. Also the numerical algorithm used to solve the equation of motion for the planar vibration of the beam subjected to harmonic excitation at the base.
- The document examines how the orientation of low-level wind shear affects tornadogenesis in simulated supercell storms. It simulates storms with different low-level shear orientations and finds that low-level vertical vorticity is generally strongest when the distance between the midlevel mesocyclone and maximum low-level circulation is smallest.
- In the simulations, a low-level shear orientation of 0 degrees relative to the deep-layer wind profile results in the smallest distance and strongest low-level vertical vorticity, as the outflow is aligned with the midlevel mesocyclone. An orientation of 180 degrees restrains the outflow behind the mesocyclone.
- Future work includes additional simulations to validate these findings
This document proposes a solution for transferring personnel and supplies between a large, rotating habitat wheel that provides artificial gravity and a central, non-rotating utility core in an orbital space station. The solution involves a dedicated subway system with cars that travel on tracks between the rotating wheel, moving at 31.3 m/s, and the stationary core. The subway cars would slow or speed up using linear induction motors to match speeds, providing a safe way to cross the speed differential while keeping the rotation of the main habitat and stationary core unchanged.
Determination of Kite forces for ship propulsionGeorge Dadd
This document presents a method for predicting kite forces for use in ship propulsion by kites. It describes modeling kite trajectories as figure-eight shapes and using these to calculate kite velocity, force and performance over time. Simulation results show a 300m^2 kite could provide an average propulsive force of 16.7 tonnes in 6.18 m/s wind. The model is used to study how parameters like aspect ratio, elevation angle and trajectory shape impact propulsive performance. Validation with experimental data shows favorable agreement.
Fluid and structural modeling of cavitating propeller flowsPhuong Dx
This document summarizes previous research on modeling cavitating propeller flows and hydroelastic effects. It presents the objective to develop a coupled boundary element-finite element model to predict cavitation patterns and hydroelastic response of propellers. An overview is given of the boundary element formulation used, including the assumptions of potential, incompressible, and cavitating sheet flow. Boundary conditions at wetted surfaces and cavities are described. Validation with experiments is discussed.
A Comparison of Two Kite Force Models with ExperimentGeorge Dadd
This document compares two models for predicting kite line tension - a zero mass model that assumes the kite and lines are weightless, and a lumped mass model that considers the kite's mass using equations of motion. Experimental data is used to validate the models. It is found that the two models converge as kite mass approaches zero, and that kite mass only affects performance to a small extent. The zero mass model compares favorably to experimental results in predicting performance during three-dimensional kite trajectories. Kite propulsion is an attractive way to harness wind power with environmental and financial benefits.

Closed-Form Expressions for Moments of Two-Way Slabs under Concentrated LoadsIOSR Journals
The document presents closed-form expressions for determining the bending moments in two directions of a rectangular two-way slab under a concentrated load uniformly distributed over a defined area. Two expressions are derived based on elastic analysis and Navier's method. The expressions relate the bending moments to factors that influence them, including the span ratio, the dimensions ratio of the loaded area, and the ratio of the short span to the parallel length of the loaded area. Comparisons are made between results from the new expressions, an approximate method in the Egyptian code ECCS 203-2007, Pigweed's theory, and finite element analysis. Significant differences are found between the code's method and finite element results, while Pigweed's theory agrees well with finite element

1) The document analyzes the effect of angle of attack on the damping derivative of a delta wing with a half sine wave curved leading edge for attached shock cases in supersonic flow.
2) A strip theory combined with Ghosh's piston theory is used to relate pressure on the wing surface to equivalent piston Mach number, allowing calculation of stability derivatives.
3) Results show the damping derivative increases linearly with angle of attack up to a Mach-dependent limit, and decreases with increasing Mach number and with the pivot position moving aft.

1) The document analyzes stress distribution in a curved structure subjected to uniaxial tension using photoelastic and finite element methods.
2) Photoelasticity is used to experimentally determine stress distribution in models of the curved structure with and without circular and elliptical stress relievers. Finite element analysis is then used to validate the experimental photoelastic results.
3) The study found that an elliptical stress reliever with its major axis normal to the load more effectively reduced stress concentration at the inner boundary of the curved structure compared to a circular stress reliever.
Characteristics of shock reflection in the dual solution domainSaif al-din ali
This document summarizes a numerical study that investigates the use of laser energy deposition to induce transitions between regular and Mach shock reflections in supersonic flow over dual wedge configurations. The study validated its numerical approach by comparing results to an experiment involving laser deposition in front of a sphere. Simulations then examined how varying the position and amount of laser energy deposition could influence transition characteristics in the dual solution domain over wedge configurations. Key findings included how transition time and occurrence depended on deposition parameters and position relative to the shock waves and wedges.

Wave-Current Interaction Model on an Exponential Profileijceronline
We develop a model that approximates the exponential depth, which exhibits the behavior of linear depth particularly in the surf zone. The main effect of the present exponential depth is found in the shoaling zone, where the depth remains finite. The basic description and the outcome is essentially rip currents where in the surf zone the wave behavior is the same as found in the linear depth case. In the shoaling zone the present exponential depth exhibits the hypergeometric functions.
- The document discusses a study that uses thermochronometry to analyze the exhumation history of the Avawatz Mountains in order to better understand the inception and development of the Garlock fault zone.
- Results indicate an increase in cooling rates between 11-9 Ma, interpreted as recording the inception of the Garlock fault zone around that time.
- New cooling ages reveal vertical displacement along the Mule Spring fault in the western Avawatz occurred around 3 Ma, but this displacement is not observed further east, suggesting additional faults may be involved in uplifting the area.

Triangular interactions among climate, erosion and tectonics happen during the course of formation and development of a mountain range. In this study mountain range of Nyainqentanglha of Himalaya has been focused to assess which element played the vital role in this case. Altitude data of the catchments have been used as the primary key of analysis. Significant concentration of catchment areas near glacier equilibrium line altitudes (ELA) proved the presence of glacial buzzsaw mechanism. Swath analysis confirmed the presence of Teflon peak. Finally web of interrelationship has been explored behind the development of this mountainous range.
The document discusses uniform circular motion and the position-velocity relation equation. It defines uniform circular motion as motion where the speed is constant but the direction is continuously changing, requiring a centripetal force. It provides the equation for the position-velocity relation as v^2 - u^2 = 2as. Finally, it gives examples of uniform circular motion like a stone on a string being rotated in a circle and the moon orbiting the Earth.
This document provides an overview of AVO (amplitude variation with offset) principles, processing, and inversion. It discusses the early theoretical work developing AVO analysis and various approximations of the Zoeppritz equations that relate seismic reflection amplitudes to rock properties. The document reviews principles of AVO analysis and describes several common approximations of the Zoeppritz equations, including those by Bortfeld, Aki-Richards-Frasier, Shuey, and Smith-Gidlow. It also discusses using AVO attributes and inversion to estimate changes in P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density.
This document presents new ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for macroseismic intensity valid for the Marmara Sea region of northwest Turkey. The relations account for finite fault effects by defining distance as the Joyner-Boore distance from the surface projection of the fault plane. Regression analysis was used to develop two GMPEs, one relating intensity to magnitude, Joyner-Boore distance, and depth, and another using epicentral distance where the fault geometry is unknown. The relations provide improved estimates of macroseismic intensity compared to existing models, especially near the fault plane for large earthquakes.
Ranging is a surveying method used to locate intermediate points along a straight line between two fixed points or survey stations. There are two methods of ranging: direct and indirect. Direct ranging uses line of sight between stations and can locate points using eye sight or ranging rods. Indirect ranging is used when stations are not visible to each other, using techniques like triangulation. Obstacles like ponds, hills and buildings can interfere with direct chaining between stations. Special surveying methods apply geometric or trigonometric principles to measure distances across obstacles and continue the chain line.
The Modified Theory of Central-Force MotionIOSR Journals
Everybody is in the state of constant vibration, since vibration is the cause of the entire universe.
Consequent upon this, a body under the influence of attractive force that is central in character may also vibrate
up and down about its own equilibrium axis as it undergoes a central-force motion. The up and down vertical
oscillation would cause the body to have another independent generalized coordinates in addition to the one of
rotational coordinates in the elliptical plane. In this work, we examine the mechanics of a central-force motion
when the effect of vertical oscillation is added. The differential orbit equation of the path taken by the body
varies maximally from those of the usual central- force field. The path velocity of the body converges to the
critical speed in the absence of the tangential oscillating phase.

This document discusses a study of the hypsometric analysis of the Tambraparni River Basin located in southern India. The study aims to use hypsometric values and curves to understand the geologic and geomorphic evolution of the basin. The hypsometric integral value of 0.0484 indicates that most of the basin has a relatively low relief, associated with a highly dissected and eroded landscape due to fluvial action. GIS software was used to analyze elevation data and generate hypsometric curves to study the geomorphic development stages of the basin over time.

This document reviews different height systems and vertical datums in the Australian context. It discusses two classes of height systems - geometrical systems that ignore gravity, and physical systems related to gravity. Ellipsoidal heights are an example of a geometrical system, using straight line distances from a reference ellipsoid. Physical systems use curved paths along equipotential surfaces defined by gravity. Australia uses the normal-orthometric height system embedded in the Australian Height Datum (AHD). The AHD was established using spirit leveling observations fixed to tide gauge measurements of mean sea level. Problems with the AHD and differences from the national geoid model are noted.

Mechanical wave descriptions for planets and asteroid fields: kinematic model...Premier Publishers
Models with wave dynamics and oscillations in the solar system are presented. A solitonial solution (Korteweg-de Vries), for a density field, is related to the formations of planets. A new nonlinear equation for a solitonial, will be derived, and denoted ‘J-T equation’. The linearized version has solutions, which are small vibrations with eigen frequency proportional to the parameters describing the solitonial wave, around a constant level, which is 2/3 of the maximum solitonial density. The location and orbital motion of Mercury and Venus are compared with wave dynamics. The tidal effect for Earth is analysed in terms of dynamics. Related phenomena for other planetary objects are discussed in conjunction with assuming a Roche limit.
A Theory For Vortex Rossby-Waves And Its Application To Spiral Bands And Inte...Darian Pruitt
This paper examines the physics of vortex axisymmetrization and the outward propagation of spiral bands in hurricanes. It presents a theory of vortex Rossby waves, where the restoring mechanism is the radial gradient of storm vorticity rather than the meridional gradient of planetary vorticity as in planetary Rossby waves. Expressions are derived for the phase and group velocities of vortex Rossby waves, confirming their outward propagation. The theory reveals a new mechanism for vortex intensification through the interaction of radially propagating vortex Rossby waves and sustained injection of vorticity near the radius of maximum winds.
Modeling the Frictional Effect on the Rip Current on a Linear Depth Profileijceronline
We develop an analytical theory for the interaction between waves and currents induced by breaking waves on a depth profiles. Here we examine the effect of friction on the rip currents and so are not particularly concerned with frictionally determined rip currents. The near shore is characterized by the presence of breaking waves, and so we develop equations to be used outside the surf zone, based on small-amplitude wave theory, and another set of equations to be used inside the surf zone, based on an empirical representation of breaking waves. Suitable matching conditions are applied at the boundary between the offshore shoaling zone and the near shore surf zone. Both sets of equation are obtained by averaging the basic equations over the wave phase. Thus the qualitative solution constructed is a free vortex defined in both shoaling and surf zone where in the surf zone the free vortex is perturbed by a long shore component.
On the possibility of through passage of asteroid bodies across the Earth’s a...Sérgio Sacani
We have studied the conditions of through passage of asteroids with diameters 200, 100, and
50 m, consisting of three types of materials – iron, stone, and water ice, across the Earth’s
atmosphere with a minimum trajectory altitude in the range 10–15 km. The conditions of this
passage with a subsequent exit into outer space with the preservation of a substantial fraction
of the initial mass have been found. The results obtained support our idea explaining one of the
long-standing problems of astronomy – the Tunguska phenomenon, which has not received
reasonable and comprehensive interpretations to date. We argue that the Tunguska event was
caused by an iron asteroid body, which passed through the Earth’s atmosphere and continued
to the near-solar orbit.
The Sun’s differential rotation is controlled by high- latitude baroclinicall...Sérgio Sacani
Rapidly rotating fluids have a rotation profile that depends only on the distance from the rotation axis, in accor-dance with the Taylor- Proudman theorem. Although the Sun was expected to be such a body, helioseismology showed that the rotation rate in the convection zone is closer to constant on radii. It has been postulated that this deviation is due to the poles being warmer than the equator by a few degrees. Using numerical simulations, we show that the pole- to-equator temperature difference cannot exceed 7 kelvin as a result of the back- reaction of the high- latitude baroclinically unstable inertial modes. The observed amplitudes of the modes further indicate that this maximum temperature difference is reached in the Sun. We conclude that the Sun’s latitudinal differential rotation reaches its maximum allowed value

Jupiter’s atmospheric jet streams extend thousands of kilometres deepSérgio Sacani
The document summarizes findings from measurements taken by the Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter. It finds that Jupiter's atmospheric jet streams extend thousands of kilometers deep, likely to depths where magnetic dissipation occurs around 3,000 km. By inverting gravity measurements, the researchers calculated the most likely vertical profile of deep atmospheric flows, with an exponential decay depth of around 1,500 km. Considering angular momentum, the deep flows are likely driven by a balance between drag from Lorentz forces and eddy momentum fluxes near the cloud level.
GPS data is used to calculate strain and rotation rates in three continental plateaus: Tibet, Anatolia, and the Altiplano. For Tibet and Anatolia, the results show large regions of quasi-rigid body rotation bounded by strike-slip faults, with positive dilatation on the outboard sides. The Altiplano has higher internal shortening and negative dilatation everywhere. Vertical axis rotation changes sign across its topographic symmetry axis. Comparing the GPS and geological data provides insights into how interseismic and permanent deformation relate in each region over time.

This document summarizes a research paper that investigates the scattering of oblique water waves by bottom undulations in the presence of a submerged thin vertical barrier. The paper uses perturbation analysis to obtain analytical expressions for the first-order reflection and transmission coefficients in terms of integrals involving the bottom shape function and the solution for wave scattering by the barrier alone. For sinusoidal bottom undulations symmetric about the barrier, the first-order transmission coefficient is found to vanish. Numerical results are presented for the first-order reflection coefficient for different parameters.
This document provides an overview of seismic exploration fundamentals and concepts related to refracted and reflected seismic waves. It discusses topics like refracted ray and angle, total time of refraction travel, apparent versus true velocity, constructing time-distance plots from single-layer models, and exercises for determining arrival times using ray-tracing concepts. Homework problems are also presented relating to Nafe-Drake curves, seismic velocities in a two-layer model, and anomalous velocities for ice. Students are directed to online resources for more information on derivations and single-layer modeling equations.
This document discusses the wave equation and properties of one-dimensional waves. It begins by defining the wave equation as a hyperbolic partial differential equation. It then derives the one-dimensional wave equation mathematically by taking the double derivatives of a wave function with respect to position and time. The key result is that the second derivative of the wave function with respect to position equals the inverse velocity squared times the second derivative with respect to time. It then discusses the differences between traveling waves, which transport energy and move crests/troughs, and standing waves, which remain in a fixed position with nodes and antinodes.
This document summarizes the research investigating the effect of longitudinal atmospheric turbulence on the dynamics of an airfoil with a structural nonlinearity in pitch. Three different regions of dynamic behavior are observed when the airfoil is excited by longitudinal turbulence, compared to two regions for the nonexcited case. A new region exists where the airfoil response is concentrated about the equilibrium position, attributed to the parametric nature of the turbulence excitation. Utter occurs at a lower velocity and limit cycle oscillations occur at a higher velocity for the excited case versus the nonexcited case. The airfoil and aerodynamic models used in the numerical simulations are described.

ABSTRACT. An attempt has been made to obtain an asymptotic solution for the updraft/downdraft associated
with Lee wave across the Assam-Burma hills (ABH) for an idealized basic flow, where, both stability and wind in the
basic flow remain invariant with height. ABH has been approximated by two three dimensional elliptical barriers,
separated by a valley of some finite distance. For simplicity, the basic flow has been assumed to have only one
component normal to the major ridges of the barriers. For this purpose, perturbation technique has been applied to the
governing equations. The perturbation vertical velocity ( w ) and streamline displacement ( ) are expressed as double
integrals, which have been attempted to approximate as an asymptotic expansion. The results obtained are found to be
consistent and have been compared with the results obtained by earlier investigators.
Key word – Assam Burma hills, Asymptotic solution, 3D Lee wave.
1. Introduction
The problem of airflow over an orographic barrier
and in particular, the formation of stationary atmospheric
Lee waves has received considerable theoretical attention
in the past. In a stably stratified atmosphere a fluid parcel,
displaced vertically, undergoes buoyancy oscillation
which gives rise to gravity waves. Now, these gravity
waves can propagate vertically to a great distance carrying
energy and momentum to higher levels in the atmosphere.
Sometimes, they are associated with the formation of
Clear Air Turbulence (CAT). The information about
standing waves, which under favorable meteorological
conditions form on the Lee side of the mountain barrier, is
very important for the safety of aviation. Many aircraft
accidents reported in mountainous areas are often
attributed to the vertical velocities of large magnitude
associated with the Lee waves.
Studies on the perturbation to a stably stratified air
stream by an obstacle can be broadly divided into two
categories. In one category the obstacle is assumed to
have an infinite extension in the crosswind direction, so
that the flow is essentially two-dimensional (2-D). In the
other category the obstacle is assumed to have a finite
extension in the crosswind direction and consequently the
flow is three-dimensional (3-D). One fundamental
difference between the 2-D and 3-D approach is the
direction of propagation of wave energy away from the
mountain. In two dimensions as the mountain becomes
wider and the flow more nearly hydrostatic, the group
velocity (relative to the mountain) becomes directed
vertically with the result that the wave energy is found
directly above the mountain. This result does not carry
over to three dimensions. Some of the hydrostatically
waves generated by 3-D mountain lie down stream of the
mountain and to the side tending to form trailing wedges
(501)

of vertical motion. Thus for practical and theoretical
reasons, it is necessary to understand the three-
dimensional mountain flow problem.
Wurtele (1957) represented the 3-D orographic
barrier in the form of semi-infinite plateau of height ‘h’
with narrow width ‘2b’ in the crosswind direction. He
considered the incoming wind (U) and buoyancy
frequency (N) to be independent of height. His theory
predicted the region of updraft, which had a horseshoe
shape, and was located some distance downstream of the
barrier. Crapper (1959) presented a 3-D small perturbation
approach of waves produced in a stably stratified air
stream flowing over a mountain. He obtained the
fundamental solution for a doublet disturbance in an air
stream in which Scorers parameter remains constant and
then it was extended to that for a disturbance caused by a
circular mountain in the same air-stream. He showed that
circular mountain can give rise to waves which have
greater amplitude than those produced by an infinite ridge
in the same air-stream. Crapper (1962) considered the
airflow across a 3-D barrier with elliptical contour for two
types of air-stream. In one case the Scorer parameter l was
constant with height, in other case it was assumed to fall
off exponentially with height. In each of the above cases

was kept constant. The result showed that
when l is constant, then the form of the waves was
determined by the value of q. He also showed that when l
falls off exponentially, the waves closely resembled ship
waves for any value of q.
Sawyar (1962) studied gravity waves in the
atmosphere as a 3-D problem. He derived an equation, for
the vertical variation of the amplitude of the standing
waves, when the wind varied with height and the wave
was periodic in the horizontal. He solved the equation
numerically for specified two or three layer atmosphere to
determine possible wavelengths in the horizontal
directions for Lee waves. He obtained results for the cases
when wind direction changed with height as well as for
the cases when wind direction remained same in the
vertical. He showed interestingly that Scorer’s (1949)
condition for the occurrence of Lee wave was no longer
applicable for wave motion in 3-D. He showed that in
3-D Lee waves are always possible in a two-layer
atmosphere. Onishi (1969) solved 3-D linearized
equations for arbitrary upstream conditions by including
friction in the governing equations. Pekelis (1971)
extended his 2-D work to solve linearized 3-D problem.
Vertical velocity fields obtained by him compare well
with those of Sawyar (1962). Smith (1980) examined the
stratified hydrostatic flow over a bell shaped 3-D isolated
mountain using linear theory. Solutions for various parts
of the flow field were obtained using analytical method
and numerical Fourier analysis. The flow aloft was found
to be composed of vertically propagating mountain waves.
The maximum amplitude of these waves occurred directly
over the mountain, but there was considerable wave
energy, trailing downstream along the parabolas

y 2
; where U, N are respectively the constant
basic zonal wind and buoyancy frequency. Bluemen and
Dietze (1981) considered a 3-D linear hydrostatic model
of stationary mountain wave in a stably stratified air-
stream. They took both the incoming flow and Burnt-
Vaisalla frequency to be independent of height, but lateral
variation of incoming flow was incorporated by assuming
a hyperbolic secant profile ( ). The results in
their solution for different shape of hill showed that the
pressure pattern and the velocity at the ground level were
similar in many respects to the field obtained by Smith
(1980) for constant basic flow. The incoming air-stream
tends to circumvent the hill resulting in a permanent
streamline deflection. Somieski (1981) studied the
stratified hydrostatic flow over a three dimensional
circular mountain. He derived a 2nd
order wave equation
from the primitive equation including constant rotation
and vertical wind shear of the mean flow. He solved the
equation numerically. He showed that in case of no shear
and constant static stability, the nodal lines are parabolic
for a circular mountain of diameter 50 km. Bluemen and
Dietze (1982) extended their earlier model by including
the vertical variation of the basic flow and static stability.
To take into account the vertical structure of basic state,
they introduced stretched vertical co-ordinate. The energy
flux computed by them was compared with the results of
Elliassen and Palm (1961). Olafssen and Bougeault (1996)
explored the hydrostatic flow over an elliptical mountain
barrier of aspect ratio 5. They took upstream profiles of
wind (U), stability (N) constant and ignored the effect of
Coriolis force. Under such conditions their result showed
the flow characteristics to be dependent mainly on the
non-dimensional mountain height
SechyU

Nh
. They found that
for all values of
U
Nh
, a substantial part of the flow was
diverted vertically above the mountain. They found
generation of potential vorticity in the wake of the
mountain, leading to the creation of Lee vortices.
In India the problem of mountain waves has been
studied by Das (1964), Sarker (1965, 1966, 1967), De
(1971), Sinha Ray (1988), Tyagi & Madan (1989) and
Kumar et al. (1995), Dutta (2003, 2005, 2007a, 2007b),
Dutta et al., (2002), Dutta et al. (2006), Dutta & Naresh
Kumar (2005), etc. Among all, Das (1964) first addressed
the issue from a 3-D aspects. He studied the influence of

the Himalayas, approximated as a large 3-D circular
mountain, using a linear baroclinic model which included
the variation of ‘f’ with latitude. The solutions were
obtained for the downstream waves in an asymptotic form.
It was shown that the wave distortion depends on a non-

. Considering the center of the
circular mountain at 85° E and 30°-40° N, the major
trough line was found between 105°-110° E, which is in
reasonable agreement with the observations over eastern
Tibet in winter. Afterwards 3-D study on mountain wave
and its different aspects were studied by Dutta et al.,
(2002) and subsequently by Dutta (2003), Dutta et al.
(2006) and Dutta (2005, 2007a, 2007b). These studies
addressed the Lee waves across the Western Ghats and the
Khasi-Jayantia hills only. In India problems on Lee waves
across the Assam-Burma hills was first addressed by De
(1970) and subsequently by De (1971), Farooqui and De
(1974), Dutta and Naresh Kumar (2005) etc. De
(1970,1971) computed the wavelength of the Lee waves
over the Assam-Burma hills using an approach, similar to
Sarker (1966, 1967) with necessary modification for the
mountain profile and wind direction in that region.
Computed wavelength varies between 17 and 34 km and
agreed well with those observed from satellite pictures.
Farooqui and De (1974) used a two dimensional model to
calculate the flow over a small obstacle (half width 2 km),
a large obstacle (half width of 20 km) and across the
Assam hills (200-300 km). Their results in the later
experiment show long waves of length (20-40 km) and
other large perturbations mainly between heights 1 and 9
km. From 9 to 15 km perturbations are very small.
However, these studies on Lee waves across the Assam-
Burma hills are of 2-D.
Similar to Dutta et al. (2002), in the present study
also, an adiabatic, steady state, non-rotating and laminar
flow of a vertically unbounded stratified and Bossiness
fluid across a 3D mesoscale orographic barrier, has been
considered. Present study is similar to the study of Dutta
et al. (2002) in most of the aspects, except the lower
boundary condition. In Dutta et al. (2002) lower
boundary was a 3-D elliptical barrier whereas in the
present study the barrier is approximated analytically by
two 3-D elliptical barriers, separated by a valley, Similar
to Dutta et al. (2002), in the present study also it is
assumed that the basic flow (U) is normal to the major
ridges of elliptical barriers and it is constant with height
and the buoyancy frequency (N) is also assumed to be
constant with height and a rectangular co-ordinate system
in which, x axis points towards east, y axis towards north
and z axis vertically upward is considered. Using the
technique followed by Dutta et al. (2002), we obtain the
following vertical structure equations for perturbation
vertical velocity
This study aims at developing a 3-D mesoscale Lee
wave model for the Assam-Burma hills (ABH) and at
obtaining an analytical solution for the updraft and
vertical displacement associated with 3-D mesoscale Lee
waves across ABH, following an asymptotic
approximation.
2. Data
Input data for the proposed model consists of
geopotential height, pressure, dry bulb temperature and
horizontal components of wind at different levels at a
station far upstream of the barrier. As the ABH is north
south oriented, hence when it is approximated analytically
by two 3-D elliptical barriers, separated by a valley, the
major ridges become north south oriented. Hence the
zonal component of the basic flow only interacts
effectively with the ABH to give rise to Lee waves. The
only station on the upstream side is Guwahati (26.19° N
Latitude and 91.73° E Longitude). Hence the RS/RW data
of Guwahati for those dates, which corresponds to the
observed Lee waves across ABH, as reported by De
(1970, 1971) and Farooqui and De (1974), has been
obtained from Archive of India Meteorological
Department, Pune.

The double integrals I1 and I2 are difficult to evaluate
analytically. So they are responsible to the method of
stationary phase. According to this method, first those
points in the wave number domain are found out,
where the phase
lk,
mzlykx is stationary. Those points
are termed as saddle points. Then the entire integrand is
expanded in Taylor’s series about the saddle point and the
first term of the expansion is retained as the asymptotic
approximation of the integrals, which is valid at far down
wind location of the mountain. The asymptotic expansion

Now from (23) it is clear that at z = 0, i.e., at the
surface w vanishes except at x = 0, y = 0. This should be

In the study of Das (1964), nodal lines were
concentric circles, which may be attributed to the
geostrophic approximation made by him and the larger
scale circular taken by him. In the study of Smith (1980)
and Someiski (1981), were taking hydrostatic
approximation, obtain parabolic shaped nodal lines for
small Gaussian hill circular contour and the diameter of
the circular obstacle is 50 km respectively. In the present
study neither geostrophic nor hydrostatic approximation
are made and furthermore, instead of a circular mountain
we have taken a meso-scale elliptical barrier. Hence in
this case we have two nodal lines, the first nodal lines are
a system of hyperbola, which is in conformity with the
earlier findings o Wurtele (1957) and also for the
different values of m , we get the nodal lines as system
of circle,
Now the above analytical result are verified for a
typical Lee wave case across the Assam-Burma hills along
east coast of India. De (1973) investigated that the air
stream characteristic across Assam-Burma hills during
winter was favorable for the occurrence of Lee waves.
Using above equations both wʹ and ηʹ are computed for

For the Assam-Burma hills we take a =

Now for the typical case in the Assam-Burma hills
the vertically averaged basic wind speed (U) is 10m/s and
vertically averaged value of Brunt-Vaisalla frequency (N)
for the basic flow is 0.01/s. It is seen that both w' and η'
decay downstream of the barrier at all levels in the central
plane. These results are also in conformity with the earlier
findings of Wurtele (1957) and Lyra (1943). The train of
oscillations in the downstream variation of w' and η' in the
central plane may be attributed to the product of the
damping factors viz

baroclinic Lee wave across a meso-scale elliptical barrier”,
Meteorol. Atmos. Phys., 90, 139-152.From these above contours it is inferred that at all
levels the vertical velocity (wʹ) and streamline
displacement (ηʹ) tilt upstream (upwind) and spread
laterally with height. Lateral spreading of the wave as
shown in above Figs. 3(a-d) and Figs. 4(a-d) is due to
presence of divergent part in the Lee wave. Gjevic and
Marthinsen (1978) had also found that diverging type as

Now to evaluate the integral I1 and I2 we follow the method of approximations of double integrals of functions of large
numbers as given by Hsu (1948). In the theorem of this paper, he has shown that if , , ,x y h x y and ,

h x y
f x y e
be continuous functions defined on a region S such that
