Internal waves are important physical phenomena on the continental shelf/slope. They are
often very energetic, and their breaking provides an important dissipation and mixing …

In coastal seas and straits, the interaction of barotropic tidal currents with the continental
shelf, seamounts or sills is often observed to generate large-amplitude, horizontally …

Two-dimensional, nonlinear and nonhydrostatic field-scale numerical simulations are used
to examine the resuspension, dispersal and transport of mud-like sediment caused by the …

The breaking of fully nonlinear internal solitary waves of depression shoaling upon a
uniformly sloping boundary in a smoothed two-layer density field was investigated using …

Exchange of material across the nearshore region, extending from the shoreline to a few
kilometers offshore, determines the concentrations of pathogens and nutrients near the …

Using direct numerical simulations (DNS), we investigate the structure and energetics of
breaking internal waves on slopes. We employ a Navier–Stokes code in an idealized three …

The evolution and breaking of internal solitary waves in a shallow upper layer as they
approach a constant bottom slope is examined through laboratory experiments. The waves …

Internal waves strongly influence the physical and chemical environment of coastal
ecosystems worldwide. We report novel observations from a distributed temperature sensing …

The shoaling of horizontally propagating internal waves may represent an important source
of mixing and transport in estuaries and coastal seas. Including such effects in numerical …
