We designed a simple laboratory experiment to study internal tides generation. We consider a steep continental shelf, for which the internal tide is shown to be emitted from the critical point, which is clearly amphidromic. We also discuss the dependence of the width of the emitted beam on the local curvature of topography and on viscosity. Finally we derive the form of the resulting internal t...

متن کاملAntidunes on steep slopes
16 When increasing the rates of subcritical flow on gentle slopes, the bed successively produces 17 ripples, dunes and flat beds. Antidunes (defined here as all bed undulations for which the 18 surface gravity waves are in phase with the bed profile) appear only in high flow rates and 19 may be found in some extreme natural flow events. Inversely, on steep slopes flume 20 experiment (S≥1% appro...
متن کاملTopographic Effects on the Seismic Response of Steep Slopes
A frequency-domain parametric study using generalized consistent transmitting boundaries has been performed to evaluate the significance of topographic effects on the seismic response of steep slopes. The results show that the peak amplification of motion at the crest of a slope occurs at a normalized frequency 1t/2 = 0.2, where H is the slope height and 2 is the wavelength of the motion. The i...
متن کاملInternal Waves in Laboratory Experiments
Recent laboratory methods developed to generate and to analyze internal waves have revealed important insights that sometimes guide and sometimes challenge theoretical predictions and the results of numerical simulations. Here we focus upon observations of internal waves generated by oscillatory or uniform flow over a solid boundary in a continuously stratified fluid. In the laboratory such flo...
