Abstract:The present paper investigates theoretically and experimentally the boundary layer generated by a stably stratified fluid flowing horizontally along a surface tilted in the transverse direction and deformed by sinusoidal undulations with crests perpendicular to the flow direction. In the absence of undulations, a weak transverse velocity proportional to the normal velocity is created such that the flow remains purely horizontal. In the presence of undulations of amplitude
