Abstract:
One of the simplest physical setups supporting internal wave motion is that of a stratified incompressible Euler fluid in a channel. This talk will discuss asymptotic models capable
of describing large amplitude wave propagation in this environment, and in particular of predicting the occurrence of self-induced shear instability in the waves' dynamics for continuously stratified fluids. Some curious properties of the Euler setup revealed by the models will be presented.
