Transmission and reflection of internal solitary waves incident upon a triangular barrier
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report upon laboratory experiments and numerical simulations examining the evolution of an interfacial internal solitary wave incident upon a triangular ridge whose peak lies below the interface. If the ridge is moderately large, the wave is observed to shoal and break similar to solitary waves shoaling upon a constant slope, but interfacial waves are also observed to transmit over and reflect from the ridge. In laboratory experiments, by measuring the interface displacement as it evolves in time, we measure the relative transmission and reflection of available potential energy after the incident wave has interacted with the ridge. The numerical simulations of laboratory- and ocean-scale waves measure both the available potential and kinetic energy to determine the partition of incident energy into that which is transmitted and reflected. From shallow-water theory, we define a critical amplitude, $A_{c}$ , above which interfacial waves are unstable. The transmission is found to decrease from one to zero as the ratio of the incident wave amplitude to $A_{c}$ increases from less than to greater than one. Empirical fits are made to analytic curves through measurements of the transmission and reflection coefficients.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
