- Additional information
- This is the first paper ever published on combined numerical and laboratory modelling of the shoaling of Mode 2 internal solitary wave on sloping topography, with the numerical model component replicating exactly the laboratory experimental conditions. The results of the work have been used by others (https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevFluids.5.054503) (i) to interpret large eddy simulations of the breaking of mode-2 ISWs encountering sloping boundaries (and the degeneration of such waves into mode-1 waves of elevation that propagate upslope) and (ii) to relate such processes to mixing and flushing time scales in stratified lakes forced by periodic wind stress.
