Internal gravity waves play a primary role in geophysical fluids: They contribute significantly
to mixing in the ocean, and they redistribute energy and momentum in the middle …

We report the experimental observation of a robust horizontal mean flow induced by internal
gravity waves. A wave beam is forced at the lateral boundary of a tank filled with a linearly …

We study the generation of resonantly growing mean flow by weakly nonlinear internal wave
beams. With a perturbational expansion, we construct analytic solutions for three …

We report a laboratory study on the scattering, energy dissipation and mean flow induced by
internal gravity waves incident upon slopes with varying surface roughness. The experiment …

In Part I, two experimental studies about the Rayleigh-Bénard convection are presented. In
the first study, experimental measurements of the root-mean-square (RMS) temperature (σ …
