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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Internal waves are ubiquitous in the ocean and play an essential role in the transport of
energy and mixing. Their peculiar reflection enables the concentration of energy on a limit …

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 …

Linear waves in bounded inviscid fluids do not generally form normal modes with regular
eigenfunctions. Examples are provided by inertial waves in a rotating fluid contained in a …

Rotating fluids support waves. These inertial waves propagate obliquely through the fluid,
with an angle that is fixed with respect to the rotation axis. Upon reflection, their wavelength …
