Internal wave turbulence in a stratified fluid with and without eigenmodes of the experimental domain

N Lanchon, DO Mora, E Monsalve, PP Cortet - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
We present laboratory experiments on turbulence in a linearly stratified fluid driven by an
ensemble of internal gravity waves which approaches statistical homogeneity and …

Reflection and diffraction of internal waves analyzed with the Hilbert transform

MJ Mercier, NB Garnier, T Dauxois - Physics of Fluids, 2008 - pubs.aip.org
We apply the Hilbert transform to the physics of internal waves in two-dimensional fluids.
Using this demodulation technique, we can discriminate internal waves propagating in …

Nonlinear internal gravity wave beams

A Tabaei, TR Akylas - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2003 - cambridge.org
Based on linear inviscid theory, a two-dimensional source oscillating with frequency,
however, the transient evolution of nearly vertical beams takes place on a slower time scale …

Limit states of internal wave beams

B Voisin - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2003 - cambridge.org
Internal gravity waves propagate away from a localized monochromatic disturbance inside
beams, which develop around a St Andrew's Cross in two dimensions and around a double …

Internal wave tunnelling

BR Sutherland, K Yewchuk - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2004 - cambridge.org
We present the first laboratory evidence of internal gravity wave tunnelling through weakly
stratified fluid patches and we derive analytic theories for energy transmission by the waves …

Internal gravity waves generated by convective plumes

JK Ansong, BR Sutherland - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2010 - cambridge.org
We present experimental results of the generation of internal gravity waves by a turbulent
buoyant plume im**ing upon the interface between a uniform density layer of fluid and a …

Density field of supersonic separated flow past an afterbody nozzle using tomographic reconstruction of BOS data

L Venkatakrishnan, P Suriyanarayanan - Experiments in Fluids, 2009 - Springer
The background oriented Schlieren (BOS) technique has been applied to determine the
density field in an oblique shock-separated turbulent boundary flow. Measurements were …

Parametric subharmonic instability of internal waves: locally confined beams versus monochromatic wavetrains

HH Karimi, TR Akylas - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2014 - cambridge.org
Internal gravity wavetrains in continuously stratified fluids are generally unstable as a result
of resonant triad interactions which, in the inviscid limit, amplify short-scale perturbations …

Internal wave excitation by a vertically oscillating sphere

MR Flynn, K Onu, BR Sutherland - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2003 - cambridge.org
The properties of waves generated by a vertically oscillating sphere in a uniformly stratified
fluid are examined both theoretically and experimentally. Existing predictions for the wave …

Experimental study of internal gravity waves generated by supercritical topography

HP Zhang, B King, HL Swinney - Physics of Fluids, 2007 - pubs.aip.org
Oscillatory tides flowing over rough topography on the ocean floor generate internal gravity
waves, which are a major source of ocean mixing. Linear inviscid theory can describe waves …
