Abstract: A laboratory study has been conducted on the deflection of steady and oscillatory free stream currents impinging on two model seamounts of identical shape. The laboratory model includes the effects of background rotation ...

Abstract: Pure oscillatory flow of a rotating, linearly stratified fluid in the vicinity of an isolated topography of revolution is considered in the laboratory. The pertinent dimensionless parameters governing the motion are the ...

Abstract: With the aim of developing increasingly realistic physical models of the interaction of ocean currents with isolated seamounts, laboratory experiments concerning the flow of an oscillatory current past a cosine-squared ...

Abstract: The effect of an isolated canyon interrupting a long continental shelf of constant cross section on the along-isobath, oscillatory motion of a homogeneous, incompressible fluid is considered by employing laboratory experiments ...
