Solitary waves (solitons) are large amplitude internal                  gravity waves that propagate on density interfaces in the ocean                 over large distances with no change in form, carrying energy                    and mass.  They have particular importance in coastal regions                   where breaking over sloping bottom topography generates                         tremendous forces on structures and internal mixing.  Their                     behavior in these regions is not well understood.  In this                      project Kao will investigate the shoaling of these waves, with                  emphasis on the breaking process.  Both theoretical models and                  laboratory experiments would be carried out and the results                     compared.
