Internal waves generated at a continental shelf can have high amplitudes/energy. Thus they affect a wide range of dynamical ocean processes such as sediment/nutrient transport, as well as oil companies or even submarines navigation. This study focuses on assessing the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) for an idealized configuration. The related analytical solution provides the standard to compare the numerical results obtained.

Details are given on the final report of Gaelle Faivre.
