Abstract: | The behavior of internal waves in a vertically bounded channel differs considerably from the wave motion in an infinite stratified fluid. In 1] the phase structure of the internal waves in an exponentially stratified layer of fluid between rigid horizontal planes was experimentally and theoretically investigated. A characteristic feature of such a channel is the boundedness of the phase and group velocities of each mode. Below, the case of an exponentially stratified channel between layers of homogeneous unbounded fluid is considered.In conclusion, the authors wish to thank A. T. Onufriev for his interest in their work.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 128–132, May–June, 1987. |
