The interaction of internal solitary waves in the head-on collision

Applied hydromechanics, Vol. 16 (88) ¹ 2, (2014) p.76-83
Problem of interaction of the solitary internal waves of second mode with a underwater step is considered in the paper. A wave of the second mode is numerically modeled in a symmetric stratified three layer fluid. Analysis of results shows the possibility of existence of different types of interaction that depends on blocking parameter B, which is expressed as the ratio of lower depth layer over the step to amplitude. In the framework of numerical modelling it was found new mechanism of breather generation.
