Over the past four decades, the combination of in situ and remote sensing observations has
demonstrated that long nonlinear internal solitary-like waves are ubiquitous features of …

Model equations that govern the evolution of internal gravity waves at the interface of two
immiscible inviscid fluids are derived. These models follow from the original Euler equations …

Variations in small game hunting along the northern and eastern rims of the Mediterranean
Sea and results from predator-prey simulation modeling indicate that human population …

This monograph creates a systematic interpretation of the theoretical and the most actual
experimental aspects of the internal wave dynamics in the ocean. Firstly, it draws attention to …

Properties of solitary waves propagating in a two-layer fluid are investigated comparing
experiments and theory. In the experiments the velocity field induced by the waves, the …

Observations of tidal flow over a sill show that upstream solitary wave generation occurred in
conjunction with the downstream movement of a streamline bifurcation over the obstacle …

We consider unsteady undular bores for a pair of coupled equations of Boussinesq-type
which contain the familiar fully nonlinear dissipationless shallow-water dynamics and the …

A fast computational method for fully nonlinear non-overturning water waves is derived in
two and three dimensions. A corresponding time-step** scheme is developed in the two …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a unified theory for modeling water waves. The
different types of waves in water, varying from ripples on a placid pond, breaking of shoaling …

In this paper we aim to clarify the generation of Internal Solitary Waves (ISWs) at work to the
east of the Mascarene Plateau (Indian Ocean) using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) …
