Wake of inertial waves produced by a cylinder in horizontal translation
Résumé
I will present PIV measurements of the wake of inertial waves produced by a cylinder in horizontal translation in a fluid rotating around the vertical axis. We will discuss the effects of the size and shape of the moving object and of the non-linearities as a function of the Rossby and Reynolds numbers. This situation notably finds applications in the wake produced by a current over a ridge topography.
