Workshop on Wave Breaking Turbulence '99

海岸环境是一个非常重要和复杂的环境。 除其他因素外，沉积物的迁移是重要的;复杂性与破碎波和湍流运动有关，这些运动引起并有助于固体物质的迁移。 海军研究办公室和国家科学基金会四个独立项目对主题研讨会的支持证明了这一重要性。拟议的研讨会“波浪破碎湍流”将涉及相对广泛的实验、计算和理论研究人员。 预计，由于汇集了各种各样的调查人员，介绍和互动将带来新的见解。最终结果将在万维网上广泛公布，作为对更广泛社区的一项服务。

AbstractCTS-9910216Edwin Cowen, Cornell UniversityThe near shore environment is one of significant importance and complexity. The importance derives from, among other factors, the transport of sediment; the complexity is related to the breaking waves and to the turbulent motions that induce and contribute to the transport of solid material. The importance is attested to by the support of the Office of Naval Research and four independent programs within the National Science Foundation for the subject workshop.The proposed workshop "Wave Breaking Turbulence", will involve a relatively wide range of experimental, computational and theoretical researchers. It is expected that the presentations and interactions will lead to new insights as a result of bringing together this diverse of investigators. The net outcome will be made widely available on the World Wide Web as a service to the broader community.
