The Dynamics of Short-Wavelength Spilling Breakers

9818910邓肯该项目是破碎波的实验室研究。 该破碎机将由侧岸失稳技术产生。 目的是了解破碎波的动力学，并评估破碎波波长、表面活性剂和风对次表层流场的影响。 提出了三个研究领域：（1）在宽破碎波波长范围内研究破碎机理;（2）研究表面活性剂对破碎波的影响;（3）研究风对破碎波的影响。

9818910DuncanThe project is for a laboratory study of breaking waves. The breaker will be generated by side-bank instability technique. The goal is to understand the dynamics of breaking waves, and to assess effects of breaker wavelength, surfactants and wind on the sub-surface flow fields. Three areas of inquiry are proposed: (1) study the breaking mechanism over a wide range of breaker wavelenghts; (2) study effects of surfactants on breaking waves; (3) study effects of wind on breakers.
