Abstract
The second mode internal solitary wave (Mode-2 ISW) and its wave-induced flow field structure are investigated by conducted physical experiments in a large stratified fluid flume. The Mode-2 ISW is generated by the method of the gravity collapse of fluid, and the measurements of its wave-flow structure are obtained by the combined method of conductivity probe array and particle image velocimetry (PIV). The flow field structure and its influencing factors were analysed quantitatively. The results reveal the characteristic of the Mode-2 ISW waveform and density field and the effect of the wave amplitude on the flow and shear characteristics of induced flow field.
