Journal ArticleDOI
Shear-free turbulence near a flat free surface
TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of initially homogeneous and isotropic turbulence in the presence of a free surface was investigated via direct pseudo-spectral simulation with a resolution of 963.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulent structure in a channel flow with polymer injection at the wall
David T. Walker,W. G. Tiederman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two-component laser velocimeter measurements in a fully developed turbulent water channel flow with polymer injection were used to examine the effect of polymer injection on the Reynolds stresses and the production terms in the Reynolds stress transport equations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radar backscatter and surface roughness measurements for stationary breaking waves
TL;DR: In this article, the surface features and the radar backscatter associated with breaking waves generated by a uniform flow past a stationary submerged hydrofoil were examined and the level of energy dissipation due to breaking was varied by changing the foil angle of attack.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulent structure in free-surface jet flows
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the Froude number (Fr) and the Reynolds number (Re) on the interaction of a turbulent jet with a free surface when the jet issues parallel to the free surface are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radar backscatter from stationary breaking waves
TL;DR: In this article, the surface roughness generated by wave breaking affects radar backscatter at moderate incidence angles and the radar returns increased substantially, and the HH-to-VV polarization ratio approached unity near the breaking crests.
