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 …

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 …

In the present paper, we combine numerical and experimental approaches to study the
dynamics of stable and unstable internal wave attractors. The problem is considered in a …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 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 …

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 …
