Scientific paper

This study investigates the kinetic behavior of internal waves propagating in a two-layer fluid system with a constant water depth. The physical properties of the interfacial displacement and particle velocity during one wave cycle were investigated theoretically and experimentally. The third-order Stokes internal-wave theory was applied to the present problem for estimating the temporal and spatial displacements of the density interface and the two-dimensional distributions of fluid velocity. The interfacial displacement and particle velocity were measured under realistic laboratory conditions using an internal-wave gauge and a particle image velocimetry (PIV) system. The experimental data were compared with the corresponding theoretical results to determine the adaptability and limitations of our experimental tools. Although the experimental data showed small deviations from the theoretical results, they gave valuable information on progressive internal waves.
