McMillan, Justine M.

The generation and evolution of internal solitary waves by intrusive gravity currents and river plumes are examined in an axisymmetric geometry by way of theory, experiments and numerical simulations. Full depth lock-release experiments and simulations demonstrate that vertically symmetric...

An idealized process study is presented describing the cross-equatorial flow of grounded abyssal ocean currents in a differentially-rotating meridional channel with parabolic bottom topography. In particular we fully examine the dependence of the cross-equatorial volume flux on the underlying...
