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 …
The Springer Oceanography series seeks to publish a broad portfolio of scientific books, aiming at researchers, students, and everyone interested in marine sciences. The series …
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 …
In this article, we review the recent efforts of several teams that aimed at observing in the laboratory a turbulence of internal gravity waves in a density stratified fluid in the weakly non …
The reflection of internal gravity waves at sloping boundaries leads to focusing or defocusing. In closed domains, focusing typically dominates and projects the wave energy …
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 …
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 …
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 …
