We study experimentally the interaction of nonlinear internal waves in a stratified fluid confined in a trapezoidal tank. The setup has been designed to produce internal wave turbulence from monochromatic and polychromatic forcing through three processes. The first is a linear transfer in wavelength obtained by wave reflection on inclined slopes, leading to an internal wave attractor which has a broad wave number spectrum. Second is the broadbanded time-frequency spectrum of the trapezoidal geometry, as shown by the impulse response of the system. The third one is a nonlinear transfer in frequencies and wave vectors via triadic interactions, which results at large forcing amplitudes in a power law decay of the wave number power spectrum. This first experimental spectrum of internal wave turbulence displays a k −3 behavior.
