| A nonlinear, two-layer, rigid-lid model has been solved numerically by means of a generalized Lax-Wendroff finite difference scheme in order to study the generation of internal tides in the Strait of Gibraltar. Preliminary numerical experiments on asymptotically steady-state solutions in the presence of a constant mean flow are used to validate the model: previous laboratory experiments and analytical solutions are indeed accurately reproduced. Periodic solutions representing the internal tides at Gibraltar are then obtained by allowing a semidiurnal barotropic tidal current to interact with an idealized topographic variation modelling the Camarinal sill. Numerical experiments with and without a basic constant mean flow are carried out and a reasonable... |
