Numerical simulations of internal wave generation by convection in water

Water's density maximum at 4[superscript ∘]C makes it well suited to study internal gravity wave excitation by convection: an increasing temperature profile is unstable to convection below 4[superscript ∘]C, but stably stratified above 4[superscript ∘]C. We present numerical simulations of a wa...
