TL;DR: This work shows that the waves begin as sinusoidal disturbances rather than arising from sharp hydraulic phenomena, and reveals the existence of >200-metre-high breaking internal waves in the region of generation that give rise to turbulence levels >10,000 times that in the open ocean.

TL;DR: In this article, the structure within internal solitary waves propagating shoreward over Oregon's continental shelf is studied. But the authors focus on the evolving nature of interfaces as they become unstable and break, creating turbulent flow.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and analyze observations of the water exchange through the Strait of Gibraltar, focusing on the internal hydraulics of the Strait and in particular the presence of hydraulic controls and their influence on the exchange, showing that the maximal exchange condition, in which a subcritical flow is bounded by supercritical flow at both ends of the strait, did occur, although with various subtleties not explicitly incorporated in previous theoretical developments.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that maximal two-way exchange with a net barotropic flow requires the presence of two controls, one at the narrrowest section and a second or virtual control lying to one side of the narrowest section.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role played by small-scale instabilities and mixing formed initially by the acceleration of subcritical stratified flow over the obstacle crest, and the resulting internal hydraulic response was explained in terms of a theory that accommodates the spatially variable density difference across the sheared interface.
