Abstract

The processes of the transformation of basin-scale internal waves are simulated by a numerical three-dimensional nonhydrostatic model that is applied to a sequence of idealized problems, namely the transformation and degeneration of basin-scale internal waves in a rectangular basin, in a basin with a sloping bottom, in a basin with a sill and a cross-section constriction, and finally in a small, elongated lake. The results of the simulations are compared with laboratory experiments and with field observations, when they are available.
