Abstract

A circular cylinder is positioned horizontally in an incompressible stably stratified fluid which has a constant Brunt-Väisälä frequency. A vertical two-dimensional internal wave is produced when the cylinder is oscillated at this natural frequency. A small amplitude viscous similarity solution which explains the main features of the internal wave is presented.
