Curved Paths

A viscous incompressible stably stratified fluid with a buoyancy frequency which varies slowly with altitude is considered. A simple harmonic localized disturbance generates an internal wave in which the energy propagates along curved paths. Small amplitude similarity solutions are obtained for two-dimensional and axisymmetric waves. It is found that under certain conditions the wave amplitude can increase with height. The two-dimensional theory compares quite well with experimental measurements.
