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 …

Thinking of waves, we see waves on the water, breaking when they come too close to the
shore. Rippling on the water, circles that spread out more and more. But below the surface …

We present a laboratory study on the instability of internal wave attractors in a trapezoidal
fluid domain filled with uniformly stratified fluid. Energy is injected into the system via …

This paper presents a review of theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies of
geometric attractors of internal and/or inertial waves in a stratified and/or rotating fluid. The …

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 …

The current paper presents an experimental study of the energy budget of a two-
dimensional internal wave attractor in a trapezoidal domain filled with uniformly stratified …

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 …

A question of paramount importance in the dynamics of oceans is related to the energy
cascade from large to small scales and its contribution to mixing. Internal wave attractors …

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 …

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 …
