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 of internal gravity wave beams are frequently accompanied by theory that is
purely two-dimensional, or two-dimensional numerical models. Although qualitative …

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 …

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 …

This paper presents an experimental study of different instability scenarios in a
parallelogram-shaped internal wave attractor in a trapezoidal domain filled with a uniformly …

We study experimentally the propagation of internal waves in two different three-
dimensional (3D) geometries, with a special emphasis on the refractive focusing due to the …

The simplest geometry of the domain, for which internal wave attractors were for the first time
investigated both experimentally and numerically, has the shape of a trapezium with one …

We present an experimental analysis of the linear and nonlinear regimes of an attractor of
inertial waves in a trapezoidal cavity under rotation. Varying the rotation rate and the forcing …

Previously, internal wave attractors have been studied in the laboratory in idealized
situations. Here, we present a series of experiments in which these conditions are modified …

The reflection of internal gravity waves at sloping boundaries leads to focusing or
defocusing. In closed domains, focusing typically dominates and projects the wave energy …
