Abstract
The hydrodynamic loads due to the interaction of a small-amplitude internal solitary wave with a submerged circular cylinder in a two-layer system of miscible fluids were studied experimentally. The dependence of the internal-wave transmission coefficient on the position of the center of the cylinder relative to the pycnocline and on the ratio of the cylinder diameter to the fluid-layer thickness was obtained. The effects of the pycnocline thickness and the depth of the center of the cylinder on the value of the hydrodynamic loads were studied. Visualization of the flow structure was performed.
