entropiewavelike
Entropiewavelike is a term sometimes used to describe systems in which spatial variations of entropy propagate in a manner that resembles waves. It is not a standard, widely adopted label in classical thermodynamics, but it is used to discuss observed or modeled patterns in which entropy density or entropy-related tracers exhibit coherent, oscillatory, or propagating front-like behavior as a function of time and space.
In fluid dynamics, entropy is governed by an equation coupled to the momentum and energy equations. In
Applications and occurrences include atmospheric and oceanic contexts where tracer entropy or potential temperature exhibits wave-like
Because entropiewavelike is not a standard technical term, careful definition is essential in scholarly use. It
