Fluid flow excited by inertial waves in a rotating annulus with a trapezoidal cross section is
experimentally investigated. The forcing is introduced by the precession of a flat annular lid …

The mechanism of localized inertial wave excitation and its efficiency is investigated for an
annular cavity rotating with that, in the linear limit, becomes singular when the boundary …

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 …

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 (inertial) waves in a uniformly stratified (rotating) fluid obey a highly specific
dispersion relation that admits their propagation in form of oblique beams, which preserve …

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 …

Inertial waves in a homogeneous rotating fluid travel along rays that are inclined with
respect to the rotation axis. The angle of inclination depends solely on the ratio of the wave …

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 present an experimental and numerical study of the nonlinear dynamics of an inertial
wave attractor in an axisymmetric geometrical setting. The rotating ring-shaped fluid domain …

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 …
