Transformation of internal solitary waves of depression in a three-layer stratified fluid over the bottom step

Applied hydromechanics, Vol. 17 (89) ¹ 2, (2015) p.56-63
Problem of internal solitary waves transformation in a three-layer stratification over an underwater step is numerically studied. Different regimes of interaction, depending on the blocking parameter B and the dimensionless wave amplitude ad are determined. The ranges of the B and ad are defined, where the interaction of the first mode with a step result in generation of waves of higher baroclinic modes.
