This project aims to predict the behaviour of bubble clouds in ocean waves. Bubble clouds are used in Europe to shield marine mammals from the dangerous noise of offshore wind-turbine construction, but would be dispersed by Australia's ocean swell and turbulence; and unlike in Europe, Australia's offshore-wind sites are frequented by endangered whales. Bubble clouds from breaking waves may also dissolve up to third of humanity's carbon in the ocean. Experiments and coordinated numerical simulations would predict the displacement and dispersion of bubbles in oceanic conditions. Experiments and simulations would then predict the acoustic behaviour of bubble clouds. This outcome would benefit new offshore-wind industries and climate science.

该项目旨在预测气泡云在海浪中的行为。气泡云在欧洲被用来保护海洋哺乳动物免受海上风力涡轮机建设带来的危险噪音的影响，但会被澳大利亚的海浪和湍流驱散；与欧洲不同的是，澳大利亚的海上风场经常出现濒危鲸鱼。海浪破碎产生的气泡云也可能溶解海洋中高达三分之一的人类碳。实验和协调的数值模拟将预测海洋条件下气泡的位移和扩散。然后，实验和模拟将预测气泡云的声学行为。这一结果将有利于新的海上风能产业和气候科学。
