Environmental Turbulent Shear Flows

CTS-9818026 H。J. S. Fernando/Arizona State University滚滚Kelvin-Helmholtz波是与污染物输送有关的重要大气运动。 这些运动在自然环境中很难测量，实验室测量可能有助于加深对这些复杂流动的理解。 目前的赠款是提供一个集中的一年的努力，其中NSF赞助的设施的适用性可以提供数据，以确定这种实验室研究的潜在贡献。

CTS-9818026H. J. S. Fernando/Arizona State UniversityBillowing Kelvin-Helmholtz waves are important atmospheric motions related to the transport of contaminant materials. These motions are quite difficult to measure in the natural environment and laboratory measurements may be able to contribute to an enhanced understanding of these complex flows. The present grant is to provide a focussed one year effort in which the suitability of a NSF sponsored facility can provide data to determine the potential contribution of such laboratory studies.
