About

Internal waves is a concept describing gravity-driven oscillations that occur and propagate within a fluid medium exhibiting stable density stratification. Research in this area analyzes their generation, propagation dynamics, interaction with boundaries and other flows, and their critical influence on processes like turbulent mixing, energy transfer, and mass transport in natural systems such as oceans and the atmosphere.
