Scattering of drift waves by drift vortices
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 1997
Abstract
The scattering of free drift waves by drift vortices is investigated analytically in the Born and eikonal approximations. Scattering amplitudes and scattering cross-section are found for a wide range of parameters of the vortex and wave. It is shown that under certain conditions the wave–vortex interaction becomes very strong; that is, the scattering cross-section is much more than the vortex radius.
