A Novel Method of Generating Nonlinear Internal Wave in a Stratified Fluid Tank and Its Theoretical Model

摘要

A principle of generating the nonlinear large-amplitude internal wave in a stratified fluid tank with large cross-section is proposed according to the ‘jalousie'control mode.A new wave-maker based on the principle was manufactured and the experiments on the generation and evolution of internal solitary wave were conducted.Both the validity of the new device and applicability range of the KdV-type internal soliton theory were tested.
