SingleWave

class fridom.nonhydro.initial_conditions.single_wave.SingleWave(mset: ModelSettings, k: tuple[int], s: int = 1, phase: float = 0, use_discrete: bool = True)

Bases: State

An initial condition that consist of a single wave with a given wavenumber and a given mode.

Description

Creates a polarized wave from the eigenvectors of the linearized equations of motion. The wave is initizalized in spectral space as:

\[z(\boldsymbol{k}) = \boldsymbol{q}_s(\boldsymbol{k}) \delta_{\boldsymbol{k}, \boldsymbol{k}_0} \exp(i\phi)\]

where \(\boldsymbol{q}_s\) is the eigenvector of the mode s (see fridom.nonhydro.grid.cartesian.eigenvectors), and \(\delta_{\boldsymbol{k}, \boldsymbol{k}_0}\) is the Kronecker delta function:

\[\begin{split}\delta_{\boldsymbol{k}, \boldsymbol{k}_0} = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } \boldsymbol{k} = 2\pi\boldsymbol{k}_0/\boldsymbol{L} \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\end{split}\]

with \(\boldsymbol{L}\) the domain size in the x, y, and z directions and \(\boldsymbol{k}_0\) the wavenumber that is passed as an argument. The phase \(\phi\) is also passed as an argument. Finally, the state is fourier transformed to physical space and normalized so that its L2 norm is equal to 1.

Parameters

msetModelSettings

The model settings.

ktuple[int]

The wavenumber in the x, y, and z directions. A wavenumber of one means that the wave has a wavelength equal to the domain size in that direction.

sint

The mode (0, 1, -1) 0 => geostrophic mode 1 => positive inertia-gravity mode -1 => negative inertia-gravity mode

phasefloat

The phase of the wave. (default: 0)

use_discretebool (default: True)

Whether to use the discrete eigenvectors or the analytical ones.

__init__(mset: ModelSettings, k: tuple[int], s: int = 1, phase: float = 0, use_discrete: bool = True) → None
