Topographic Effects on Stratified Flows

Abstract

To use measurements and develop theory for stratified flow past topography. To understand the relevant processes, including establishment of the downslope flow, the role of boundary layer separation, entrainment, as well as the generation, propagation and dissipation of internal solitary waves.
