Laboratory Measurements of the Kinematics and Dynamics of Deep-Water Breaking Waves

摘要CTS-0215638 W。Kendall梅尔维尔，加州圣迭戈大学拟在斯克里普斯海洋研究所的波浪通道中进行破碎波动力学的实验研究，以实现以下目标。 (1)破碎波作用下湍动能收支的估算。 (2)作为雷诺数和邦德数函数的破裂引起的总耗散的比例检验。（3）利用高速摄像技术研究了冲击破碎的初始阶段。 拟议的研究的更广泛的影响，包括应用的结果，以实践的海岸和海洋工程，海军建筑，海气相互作用，并培养博士。学生. PI将继续通过举办对斯克里普斯海洋研究所的课堂访问来支持K-12教育。

AbstractCTS-0215638W. Kendall Melville, University of California San DiegoIt is proposed to carry out experimental investigation of the dynamics of breaking waves.Experiments will be carried out in wave channels at Scripps Institution of Oceanography to achieve the following objectives. (1) Evaluation of the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget under breaking waves. (2) Examination of the scaling of the total dissipation due to breaking as a function of Reynolds and Bond numbers. And (3) study of the initial stages of breaking and impact using high-speed video technique. The broader impacts of the proposed research include applications of the results to the practice of coastal and ocean engineering, naval architecture, and air-sea interactions, and training of Ph.D. student. The PI will continue to support K-12 education by hosting class visits to Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
