Abstract
Internal waves in a stratified liquid propagate to fit the dispersion relation, depending only on the frequency and the angle to the gravity. The phenomenon of self-focussing of such waves is known as wave attractor. To study this phenomenon numerically or in a laboratory, it is common to use a wave-maker providing the forcing through one of the boundaries. In this work, we study the influence of the wave-maker forcing on the wave attractor formation and its characteristics.
期刊介绍:
Pramana - Journal of Physics is a monthly research journal in English published by the Indian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with Indian National Science Academy and Indian Physics Association. The journal publishes refereed papers covering current research in Physics, both original contributions - research papers, brief reports or rapid communications - and invited reviews. Pramana also publishes special issues devoted to advances in specific areas of Physics and proceedings of select high quality conferences.
