Examining Breaking Internal Waves on a Shelf Slope Using Numerical Simulations
The subject of internal waves interacting with bottom topographic features in the ocean has received much attention in the past few decades. This heightened interest is mainly due to a conjecture that breaking internal waves at boundaries can be a significant source of turbulence, leading to mixing...
