136 the Gulf Stream flow in the Atlantic Ocean with the Atlantis II seamount and its two neighboring smaller seamounts was simulated. To perform physical modeling work, rough model was manufactured (Fig. 1), which was installed on the hydraulically smooth surface of the plate. a b Fig. 1. Experimental stand: location of the seamount model (a) and Cartesian coordinate system (b). The plate 2 m long and 0.5 m wide was located in the measuring section above the bottom of the hydrodynamic channel. First, visual researches were conducted using colored dyes, which were fed through streamlined thin-walled tubes into the flow in front of the seamount models. Then, instrumental researches were conducted to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of the velocity and pressure fields in the vicinity of the rough models of the Atlantis II seamount. The walls of the hydrodynamic channel were made of glass to allow for the control of experimental work and the performance of visual researches using video and photographic equipment. The experimental stand was equipped with control and measuring equipment, computer data recording systems, visual and instrumental research tools, coordinate devices and well-streamlined holders for installing sensors, and lighting equipment. A rough model of the Atlantis II seamount, which was made of plastic on a 3-D printer with precise adherence to the profile of the mountain surface, had a height of 0.2 m and a width and length of the base of about 0.4 m. The model was placed on
