I will review recent results of stratified fluids, illustrating the fascinating properties of internal gravity waves. I will in particular discuss three different physical mechanisms: internal wave reflection, mean flow generation and parametric subharmonic instabilities. I will mostly emphasize theoretical results but also discuss related experimental observations.
