Parametric Study on Random Internal Waves in a Two-Fluid System

A parametric study on random internal waves in a two-fluid system is carried out in this paper. Based on the existing study provided by the author, the second-order theory for the interaction of arbitrary two linear waves is adopted to examine its influence on wave profiles. Two modes of wave motion are investigated: the surface (fast) mode and the internal (slow) mode. On the basis of present results, one is able to analyze and predict random internal waves theoretically by using mathematical and statistical methods, for example, the Fourier analysis techniques. Present study can be potentially and widely applied to underwater technology, geoscience, ocean engineering, wave statistics, and even chemical engineering.
