Comparison of laboratory and numerically observed scalar fields of an internal wave attractor

J Hazewinkel, N Grisouard, SB Dalziel - European Journal of Mechanics-B …, 2011 - Elsevier
Observations of internal gravity wave beams are frequently accompanied by theory that is
purely two-dimensional, or two-dimensional numerical models. Although qualitative …

Numerical simulation of a two-dimensional internal wave attractor

N Grisouard, C Staquet, I Pairaud - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2008 - cambridge.org
Internal (gravity) wave attractors may form in closed containers with boundaries non-parallel
and non-normal to the gravity vector. Such attractors have been studied from a theoretical …

Observations on the wavenumber spectrum and evolution of an internal wave attractor

J Hazewinkel, P Van Breevoort, SB Dalziel… - Journal of Fluid …, 2008 - cambridge.org
Reflecting internal gravity waves in a stratified fluid preserve their frequency and thus their
angle with the gravitational direction. At boundaries that are neither horizontal nor vertical …

Direct numerical simulations of an inertial wave attractor in linear and nonlinear regimes

L Jouve, GI Ogilvie - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
In a uniformly rotating fluid, inertial waves propagate along rays that are inclined to the
rotation axis by an angle that depends on the wave frequency. In closed domains, multiple …

F Beckebanze, L Maas - International Symposium on Stratified …, 2016 - escholarship.org
The reflection of internal gravity waves at sloping boundaries leads to focusing or
defocusing. In closed domains, focusing dominates and projects the wave energy onto'wave …

Inertial wave super-attractor in a truncated elliptic cone

B Favier, S Le Dizès - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
We consider inertial waves propagating in a fluid contained in a non-axisymmetric three-
