Most studies on this topic assume a flat bottom, leading to questions about the effects of variable bottom topography. To address this gap, we investigate the flow structures beneath stationary waves with constant vorticity, considering the influence of variable topography. Specifically, we numerically analyze the role of vorticity in the emergence of stagnation points and the pressure distribution within the fluid in two bottom topography scenarios: a bump and a hole. Our numerical approach is based on a variation of the classical Dyachenko, Zakharov, and Kuznetsov conformal mapping technique for free-boundary water wave problems. Our results reveal the existence of saddle points beneath wave crests and center beneath depression solitary waves. Additionally, we observe that the pressure can exhibit distinctive features, such as a global minimum on the bottom boundary – behavior that is markedly different from the usual flat-bottom case.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20050,"journal":{"name":"Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena","volume":"482 ","pages":"Article 134824"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144922542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These flows arise from irregular multimode perturbations, undergoing mixing transition, and eventually develop into turbulence. Such evolution processes are ubiquitous in both natural phenomena (e.g., supernova explosions) and engineering applications (e.g., inertial confinement fusion), and in these practical scenarios, flows are generally compressible. Efficient simulations of this entire flow evolution hold significant value, yet existing approaches face major challenges. Conventional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) methods, while computationally efficient, often employ reduced-dimensional approximations, thereby failing to resolve the spectrum of initial perturbations and the dynamics of 3D coherent structures. Conversely, direct numerical simulation and large eddy simulation (LES), though more accurate, remain computationally intractable for practical problems in the foreseeable future. To address that, this study explores a hybrid LES/RANS framework designed to efficiently simulate 3D mixing flows across all evolutionary stages at a fraction of the computational cost of pure LES. This approach leverages key physical insights: small-scale structures dominate the core mixing region, where RANS is computationally optimal, while large-scale bubbles and spikes prevail at the mixing front, where LES excels in resolving coherent vortical structures.
