One of the important questions in the dynamics of the oceans is related to the cascade of mechanical energy in the abyss and its contribution to mixing. Here, we propose a unique self-consistent experimental and numerical set up that models a cascade of triadic interactions transferring energy from large-scale monochromatic input to multi-scale internal wave motion. We show how this set-up can be used to tackle the open question of studying internal wave turbulence in a laboratory, by providing, for the first time, explicit evidence of a wave turbulence framework for internal waves. Finally, beyond this regime, we highlight a clear transition to a cascade of small-scale overturning events which induce mixing.
