Laboratory Modeling on Transformation of Large-Amplitude Internal Waves by Topographic Obstructions

In this chapter, the results of laboratory investigations of the generation and propagation of large-amplitude solitary internal waves in two-layer systems with complex topography are presented. The influence of the shape and size of underwater obstacles and localized constrictions of the channel on the transformation, reflection, and fission of solitary waves is studied. Interaction of solitary wave with different types of slopes is analyzed.
