Abstract

Large eddy simulation is applied to investigate flow around a finite-aspect-ratio wing in motion in a stratified fluid in different positions. It is shown that the wing position relative to a pycnocline has a considerable effect on the hydrodynamic wake development and the internal wave structure.
