Shoaling internal solitary waves
[1] The evolution and breaking of internal solitary waves in a shallow upper layer as they approach a constant bottom slope is examined through laboratory experiments. The waves are launched in a two-layer fluid through the standard lock-release method. In most experiments, the wave amplitude is significantly larger than the depth of the shallow upper layer so that they are not well described b...

متن کاملInternal wave generation by oscillation of a sphere, with application to internal tides
A joint theoretical and experimental study is performed on the generation of internal gravity waves by an oscillating sphere, as a paradigm of the generation of internal tides by barotropic tidal flow over three-dimensional supercritical topography. The theory is linear and three-dimensional, applies both near and far from the sphere, and takes into account viscosity and the unsteadiness arisin...
متن کاملGeneration of Internal Tides and Internal Solitary Waves on the Continental Shelf
There are two principal objectives. The first is to continue the development of amplitude evolution equations of the Korteweg-de Vries type with a main focus on topographic effects, and on the associated effects of refraction and friction. The second is to undertake a major re-examination of the generation process, using a combination of theoretical and numerical analyses, and emphasising the d...
متن کاملInternal wave generation in a global baroclinic tide model
The energy flux out of barotropic tides and into internal waves (‘‘conversion’’) is computed using a global domain multi-layer numerical model. The solution is highly baroclinic and reveals a global field of internal waves radiating way from generation sites of rough topography. A small number of sites where intense internal wave generation occurs accounts for most of the globally integrated wo...
