Boundary layer flow beneath an internal solitary wave of elevation [PDF]
, 2010 The wave-induced flow over a fixed bottom boundary beneath an internal solitary wave of elevation propagating in an unsheared, two-layer, stably stratified fluid is investigated experimentally.

Efficient computation of capillary-gravity generalized solitary waves [PDF]
, 2016 This paper is devoted to the computation of capillary-gravity solitary waves of the irrotational incompressible Euler equations with free surface. The numerical study is a continuation of a previous work in several points: an alternative formulation of ...

Experimental study of long nonlinear internal waves in rotating fluid [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1994 Experiments were performed on the rotating platform 14 m in diameter equipped with a simple internal wave generator. Internal waves were generated for a wide range of Coriolis parameters.

Generation of secondary internal waves by the interaction of an internal solitary wave with an underwater bank [PDF]
, 2005 The generation of secondary internal waves by the interaction of a large-amplitude internal solitary wave with the Dreadnought Bank in the Andaman Sea (6°40′N, 95° 47′E) is shown by analyzing a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image acquired by the ...

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 the determination of characteristics of the interior ocean dynamics from radar signatures of oceanic internal solitary waves [PDF]
, 1998 In this paper we discuss two different methods of inferring characteristics of the interior ocean dynamics from radar signatures of internal solitary waves visible on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images.

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 ?

The effect of strong shear on internal solitary-like waves [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2021 Large-amplitude internal waves in the ocean propagate in a dynamic, highly variable environment with changes in background current, local depth, and stratification. The Dubreil–Jacotin–Long, or DJL, theory of exact internal solitary waves can account for

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science, 2016 A third-order KdV solution to the internal solitary wave is derived by a new method based on the weakly nonlinear assumptions in a rigid-lid two-layer system. The solution corrects an error by Mirie and Su (1984).

Results in Physics, 2021 The nonlinear regularized-long-wave (RLW) and the Riemann wave (RW) models are physically significant in plasma physics and in further study of nonlinear dispersive waves, namely shallow water, ion-acoustic and magneto-sound waves in plasmas, anharmonic ...
