An Experimental Study of a Breaking Interfacial Wave

9624081 Koseff本项目将完成测量破碎界面（内）波混合效率的实验室技术的开发和测试，评估通过直接测量通量和测量湍流的小尺度结构来估计质量通量的方法，并研究破碎波产生的湍流的演变。要测试的具体技术是数字粒子跟踪测速仪（DPTV）和激光诱导荧光（LIF），它们在一个平面上而不是在一个单点上产生数据。此外，将尝试在指定（和固定）位置产生断裂界面波的新技术。＊＊＊

9624081 Koseff This project will complete development and testing of laboratory techniques for measuring the mixing efficiency of breaking interfacial (internal) waves, evaluate methods for estimating the mass flux by measuring the flux directly and measuring the small- scale structure of the turbulence, and study the evolution of the turbulence created by the breaking wave. The specific techniques to be tested are a Digital Particle Tracking Velocimeter (DPTV) and Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF), which yield data in a plane rather than at a single point. In addition, a novel technique for generating a breaking interfacial wave at a specified (and fixed) location will be attempted. ***
