Stratification effects on shoaling internal solitary waves [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 This combined numerical/laboratory study investigates the effect of stratification form on the shoaling characteristics of internal solitary waves propagating over a smooth, linear topographic slope. Three stratification types are investigated, namely (i) thin tanh (homogeneous upper and lower layers separated by a thin pycnocline), (ii) surface ...

An internal solitary wave forecasting model in the northern South China Sea (ISWFM-NSCS)
Geoscientific Model Development, 2023 . Internal solitary waves (ISWs) are a ubiquitous phenomenon in the dynamic ocean system, which play a crucial role in driving transport through turbulent mixing.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The inversion of remote sensing signatures of internal solitary waves (ISWs) can retrieve dynamic characteristics in the ocean interior. However, the presence of ubiquitous large‐amplitude ISWs poses challenges to the commonly used weakly nonlinear ...

A nonhydrostatic oceanic regional model, ORCTM v1, for internal solitary wave simulation
Geoscientific Model Development, 2023 . The Oceanic Regional Circulation and Tide Model (ORCTM), including a nonhydrostatic dynamics module which can numerically reproduce internal solitary wave (ISW) dynamics, is presented in this paper.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 In the early morning of 21 April 2021 local time, the Indonesian Navy submarine KRI nanggala-402 crashed in the Bali Sea (BS). As internal solitary waves (ISWs) are a great threat to submarine navigation, this paper analyzes the characteristics of ISWs ...

Effect of internal solitary wave on the dynamic response of a flexible riser
The Physics of Fluids, 2022 Dynamic responses can arise when a flexible riser encounters the internal solitary wave (ISW) in the ocean. It is thus necessary to explore its dynamical behaviors induced by ISW.

Numerical Investigation of Internal Solitary Wave Forces on a Moving Submarine
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 A numerical model is developed to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of a moving submarine induced by internal solitary waves (ISWs) in continuously stratified fluids. A new numerical scheme for the generation of ISWs with a current is proposed,

Study on the applicability of the high-order unidirectional internal solitary wave theoretical model
Acta Physica Sinica, 2022 Internal solitary waves are widespread throughout the oceans, and their generation, propagation evolution, and dissipation have profound effects on the ocean environment, topography, and marine structures.

Marginal Instability Within Internal Solitary Waves
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 AbstractHigh‐resolution observations of the currents, hydrography, and turbulence within internal solitary waves (ISWs) reveal Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) billows and breaking waveforms occurring in the lower periphery and in the trailing edges, respectively, of the wave cores.

On internal solitary waves [PDF]
Tellus, 1979 Earlier investigations of internal solitary waves in stable, stratified shear flows are generalized on the hypothesis that cubic and quadratic nonlinearity may be of comparable significance—or, equivalent, that ? = O(?<sup>2</sup>), where ??a/h < 1 and ?
