- The paper reports the first combined laboratory and numerical modelling study of turbulent eddy structures generated by Kelvin Helmholtz instability in a breaking internal solitary wave. Fig 3 is featured (pp78, 82) in the Anniversary Travelling Exhibition The Legacy of Nansen: Science at the End of the World (ISBN 139788282350518). The results have been applied (https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2017.780) to the role of breaking internal wave turbulence in the maintenance of the global oceanic stratification. The work arose from a longstanding collaboration with Grue’s group in Oslo and was supported primarily by grants from EPSRC (EP/F030622/1) and Norwegian Research Council (NFR191204/.V30)
