On diffraction and oblique interactions of horizontally two-dimensional internal solitary waves
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 In the context of three-dimensional oceanic internal waves, taking topographic effects into account, a modified Benney–Luke equation is proposed for describing internal wave–wave interactions on a sloping bottom.

Shear induced breaking of large internal solitary waves [PDF]
, 2009 The stability properties of 24 experimentally generated internal solitary waves (ISWs) of extremely large amplitude, all with minimum Richardson number less than 1/4, are investigated.

The impacts of internal solitary waves on a submerged floating tunnel
Ocean Engineering, 2021 The interaction between an oceanic internal solitary wave (ISW) and a prototype submerged floating tunnel (SFT) is numerically investigated. Effect of oceanic internal solitary wave amplitude, the relative distance of the SFT to the pycnocline, cross ...

Anomalous resonance phenomena of solitary waves with internal modes [PDF]
, 1999 We investigate the non-parametric, pure ac driven dynamics of nonlinear Klein-Gordon solitary waves having an internal mode of frequency $\Omega_i$. We show that the strongest resonance arises when the driving frequency $\delta=\Omega_i/2$, whereas when $

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.

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 ?

Optimal transient growth in thin-interface internal solitary waves [PDF]
, 2017 The dynamics of perturbations to large-amplitude Internal Solitary Waves (ISW) in two-layered flows with thin interfaces is analyzed by means of linear optimal transient growth methods. Optimal perturbations are computed through direct-adjoint iterations

Numerical simulations of the local generation of internal solitary waves in the Bay of Biscay [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2010 Oceanic observations from the Bay of Biscay, Portugal, Mozambique Channel and Mascarene Ridge have provided evidence of the generation of internal solitary waves due to an internal tidal beam impinging on the thermocline from below – a process referred ...

Soliton generation by internal tidal beams impinging on a pycnocline: laboratory experiments [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper, we present the first laboratory experiments that show the generation of internal solitary waves by the impingement of a quasi-two-dimensional internal wave beam on a pycnocline.
