Interactions of bursting events (i.e., ejections and inflows) with the free surface in turbulent channel flows have been studied using oxygen bubble visualization and image processing techniques. Experiments indicate that the flow is dominated by the generation of wall ejections, formation of spanwise “upsurging vortices”, and interaction of such structures with the free surface. The spanwise upsurging vortices are seen to evolve near the wall, reach the free surface, form surface patches, roll back in form of spanwise “downswinging vortices”, and mix into the bulk flow. Furthermore, there are evidence of horseshoe and hockeystick type vortices in relation to the bursting events. Measurements of surface characteristics show that the ejection–inflow events are associated with deformation of the free surface and a redistribution of near surface vorticity and velocity fields. It is seen that as upsurging vortices reach the free surface, the surface goes through an elevation or a rise, whereas the surface fal...
