Abstract
This thesis studies boundary layer dynamics of internal gravity waves. Using small-parameter expansion, approximate solutions to the weakly non-linear and/or viscous internal wave fields are constructed. The theoretical results are compared with laboratory experiments and/or numerical simulations.
Keywords
