Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2023, The Author(s).We show that a recently-derived model for the propagation of nonlinear waves in the atmosphere admits undular bores as travelling-wave solutions. These solutions represent waves consisting of a damped oscillation behind a front that is preceded by a uniform breeze-type flow. The generation of such wave profiles requires a jump in the heat source across the leading front of the wave, a feature that is consistent with observations.
