Internal gravity waves are a key process linking the large-scale mechanical forcing of the
oceans to small-scale turbulence and mixing. In this review, we focus on internal waves …

One of the pivotal questions in the dynamics of the oceans is related to the cascade of
mechanical energy in the abyss and its contribution to mixing. Here, we propose internal …

We present a theoretical and numerical study of the decay of an internal wave caused by
scattering at undulating sea-floor topography, with an eye towards building a simple model …

We study experimentally the propagation of internal waves in two different three-
dimensional (3D) geometries, with a special emphasis on the refractive focusing due to the …

We consider inertial waves propagating in a fluid contained in a non-axisymmetric three-
dimensional rotating cavity. We focus on the particular case of a fluid enclosed inside a …

Numerical ocean circulation models support oceanography and climate science by
providing tools to mechanistically interpret ocean observations, to experimentally investigate …

The breaking of internal tides is believed to provide a large part of the power needed to mix
the abyssal ocean and sustain the meridional overturning circulation. Both the fraction of …

Our laboratory experiments and numerical simulations of stratified tidal flow past model
topography (a half sphere on a horizontal plane) reveal several three-dimensional flow …

A joint theoretical and experimental study is performed on the generation of internal gravity
waves by an oscillating sphere, as a paradigm of the generation of internal tides by …

Instantaneous measurements of pressure and wave flux in stratified incompressible flows
are presented for the first time using combined time-resolved particle image velocimetry …
