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 …
The simplest geometry of the domain, for which internal wave attractors were for the first time investigated both experimentally and numerically, has the shape of a trapezium with one …

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 …

Inertial waves propagate in homogeneous rotating fluids, and constitute a challenging and simplified case study for the broader class of inertio-gravity waves, present in all geophysical …
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 …

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 …
Using tomographic synthetic schlieren, we are able to reconstruct the three-dimensional density field of internal waves. In this study, the waves are radiating from an oscillating …
Waves in a stratified liquid excited in a trapezoidal basin are considered. The wave energy propagates in straight lines with rays forming a fixed angle with the vertical θ. Based on the …
