Topographic Effects on Stratified Flows

Abstract

The long-term goal is to use measurements and develop theory for stratified flow past topography. To understand the relevant processes, including establishment of the high drag state, the role of boundary layer separation, entrainment, and the generation, propagation and dissipation of internal solitary waves.
