Internal Wave Interferometry [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2010 Internal waves are a ubiquitous and significant means of momentum and energy transport in the oceans, atmosphere, and astrophysical bodies. Here, we show that internal wave propagation in nonuniform density stratifications, which are prevalent throughout nature, has a direct mathematical analogy with the classical optical problem of a Fabry-Perot ...

Internal Waves and Waves of Sand [PDF]
Nature, 1960 A DESCRIPTION has been given of some large sand waves on La Chapelle Bank which lie parallel to the general direction of the edge of the continental shelf1. They occur within a zone about 10 miles wide, have a mean separation of 2,800 ft. and are up to 40 ft. high.

, 2019 The ocean's interior is filled with waves that can only exist because the ocean is vertically stratified in temperature and salinity. Like waves at the ocean surface, internal waves are restored by gravity. These internal gravity waves are generated by wind, tides, and low-frequency flows.

Orbital Stability of Internal Waves [PDF]
Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2022 This paper studies the nonlinear stability of capillary-gravity waves propagating along the interface dividing two immiscible fluid layers of finite depth. The motion in both regions is governed by the incompressible and irrotational Euler equations, with the density of each fluid being constant but distinct.

On the internal wave variability during the Internal Wave Experiment (IWEX) [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1981 The relation between internal wave variability and larger and smaller scales of motion is investigated, using the IWEX data set. To investigate the role of internal waves in the vertical diffusion of large scale momentum, the time variability of the vertical flux of horizontal internal wave momentum (estimated from temperature and current data) is ...

Scattering Of Internal Waves By Vertical Barrier In A Channel Of Stratified Fluid
International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2015 The problem of two dimensional internal wave scattering by a vertical barrier in the form of a submerged plate, or a thin wall with a gap in an exponentially stratified fluid of uniform finite depth bounded by a rigid plane at the top, is considered in ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Significant current velocity near the sea bottom can be induced by internal waves, even for water a few hundred meters in depth. In this study, a nonhydrostatic ocean model was applied to simulate the generation and propagation of internal waves on the ...

Tamkang Journal of Mathematics, 1998 We are concerned with the steady wave motions in a 2-fluid system with constant densities. This is a free boundary problem in which the lighter fluid is bounded above by a free surface and is separated from the heavier one down below by an interface. By using a contractive mapping principle type argument.

Generation of secondary internal waves by the interaction of an internal solitary wave with an underwater bank [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2003 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 European Remote Sensing satellite ERS‐2 and by carrying out model calculations.
