On the Growth and Collapse of Mixed Regions in Stratified Fluids.

Abstract

Experimental observations were made of the development of a mechanically generated, mixed region in the interior of a density-stratified fluid. The results showed that internal waves were initiated in the exterior unmixed fluid before the mixed region reached its maximum vertical extent and began to collapse. (Author)
