The M2 internship and the following PhD thesis will consist in assembling and running a new experimental setup aiming at reaching the internal wave turbulence regime in a stratified and rotating fluid in order to test theoretical predictions that could offer new approaches for simulating ocean dynamics at small scales. The setup will consist in a rotating hexagonal water tank, 4 m high and 4 m large, filled with 40 000 L of salt stratified water installed on the 13 m diameter rotating Coriolis platform in LEGI laboratory in Grenoble. The PhD student's "base camp", where the analysis of the data collected during the campaigns will be carried out, will be the FAST laboratory in Orsay. However, the possibility of also conducting this part of the project in Grenoble can be discussed.
