A LAYERED NUMERICAL MODEL FOR SIMULATING THE GENERATION AND PROPAGATION OF INTERNAL TIDES OVER CONTINENTAL SLOPE m. NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS AND SIMULATION

The layered model in Part I was used to simulate the internal tide in a stratified, two layer, and rectangular sea area with step-like topography. The internal tide current velocities of the upper and lower layers and the interfacial elevations were computed and the effect of the upper layer water depth and den- sity difference were studied. Numerical ex~nts verified that the rr~Md can correctly simulate internal tides. The model was also applied to the northwestern part of the South China Sea to sinmlate the internal tides there with real topography. The distributions of internal tide amplitude in interfaces were delineated.
