Internal solitary waves: propagation, deformation and disintegration [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2010 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 propagating internal solitary waves.

Large amplitude internal solitary waves over a shelf [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2011 Dynamics of large amplitude internal waves in two-layers of shallow water is considered. It is demonstrated that in laboratory experiments the subsurface waves of depression over a shelf may be simulated by internal symmetric solitary waves of the mode 2

Mass and momentum transfer by solitary internal waves in a shelf zone [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2012 The evolution of large amplitude internal waves propagating towards the shore and more specifically the run up phase over the "swash" zone is considered.

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),

Energetics of internal solitary waves in a background sheared current [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2010 The energetics of internal waves in the presence of a background sheared current is explored via numerical simulations for four different situations based on oceanographic conditions: the nonlinear interaction of two internal solitary waves; an internal ...

Enhanced diapycnal mixing with polarity-reversing internal solitary waves revealed by seismic reflection data [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2021 Shoaling internal solitary waves near the Dongsha Atoll in the South China Sea dissipate their energy and enhance diapycnal mixing, which have an important impact on the oceanic environment and primary productivity.
