EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON INTERNAL WAVES GENERATED BY A MOVING BODY IN A STRATIFIED FLUID

Two-dimensional internal waves generated by a moving flat body in a continuously stratified fluid are investigated by using three kinds of flow-visualization methods: electrolytic precipitation, hydrogen bubbles, and dye streaks. Attention is paid mainly to the generation and propagation process in the upstream region under low internal Froude number. The features of the upstream disturbances as well as their relationship with stratification number K are illustrated. The corresponding theoretical analysis is briefly presented, and by comparison, the experimental and theoretical results agree well.
