Abstract: This study is an experimental investigation of impulsively started, linearly stratified flow over long ridges of triangular and cosine-squared cross sections. The experiments employ a rigid-lid boundary confining the fluid ...

Abstract: Laboratory experiments concerned with surface cooling, were conducted to simulate the surface wind patterns and the free atmosphere general circulation in the vicinity of Antarctica. The principal dynamical similarity ...

Abstract: The problem of the oscillatory motion of a homogeneous, rotating fluid in the vicinity of an isolated topographic feature is investigated in the laboratory and numerically. The laboratory experiments are conducted by fixing ...
