Experimental Study on Turbulence Structures under Spilling Breakers
Chapter
Abstract
Turbulence structures under spilling breakers were examined by experimental results obtained from simultaneous measurements of the water surface elevation and fluid velocities, and from flow visualizations. Surface-generated turbulence contributes greatly to nonstationarity and intermittency in the turbulence structure, and to formation of vortex-like motions around the border zone between the outer and inner regions.
