Wake instability past a sphere settling in a strongly stratified flow

Chang-Fan Mo, Matthieu J. Mercier, Jacques Magnaudet +1

The wake of a body moving across the isopycnals of a strongly stratified fluid is characterized by the presence of an intense jet which, under certain circumstances, may become uns…

Slumping regime in lock-release turbidity currents

Cyril Gadal, Matthieu Mercier, Marie Rastello +1

Most gravitational currents occur on sloping topographies, often in the presence of particles that can settle during the current propagation. Yet, an exhaustive exploration of asso…

Internal tide generation from non-uniform barotropic body forcing

Christos Papoutsellis, Matthieu Mercier, Nicolas Grisouard

We model linear, inviscid, internal tides generated by the interaction of a barotropic tide with one-dimensional topography. Starting from the body-forcing formulation of the hydro…

A laboratory study of low-mode internal tide scattering by finite-amplitude topography

Thomas Peacock, Matthieu J. Mercier, Henri Didelle +2

We present the first laboratory experimental results concerning the scattering of a low-mode internal tide by a gaussian topography. Experiments performed at the Coriolis Platform…

Soliton generation by internal tidal beams impinging on a pycnocline: laboratory experiments

Matthieu J. Mercier, Manikandan Mathur, Louis Gostiaux +4

In this paper, we present the first laboratory experiments that show the generation of internal solitary waves by the impingement of a quasi-two-dimensional internal wave beam on a…

New wave generation

Matthieu J. Mercier, Denis Martinand, Manikandan Mathur +3

We present the results of a combined experimental and numerical study of the generation of internal waves using the novel internal wave generator design of Gostiaux et al. (2007).…
