Variability of Bed Drag on Cohesive Beds under Wave Action
Abstract: Drag force at the bed acting on water flow is a major control on water circulation and sediment transport. Bed drag has been thoroughly studied in sandy waters, but less so in muddy coastal waters. The variation of bed drag on a muddy shelf is investigated here using field observations of currents, waves, and sediment concentration collected during moderate wind and wave events. To es...
متن کاملLaboratory Experiments on Wave Turbulence
This review paper is devoted to a presentation of recent progress in wave turbulence. I first present the context and state of the art of this field of research both experimentally and theoretically. I then focus on the case of wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid, and I discuss the main results obtained by our group: caracterization of the gravity and capillary wave turbulence regimes, th...
متن کاملWave Generation by Turbulent Convection
We consider wave generation by turbulent convection in a plane parallel, stratified atmosphere that sits in a gravitational field, g. The atmosphere consists of two semi-infinite layers, the lower adiabatic and polytropic and the upper isothermal. The adiabatic layer supports a convective energy flux given by mixing length theory; Fe ""'pv~, where pis mass density and v8 is the velocity of the ...
متن کاملSource Estimation by Full Wave Form Inversion
We consider the inverse problem of estimating the parameters describing a seismic source, based on time-dependent ground motion recordings at a number of receiver stations. The source is modeled as a point moment tensor forcing, characterized by its location, moment tensor components, start time, and frequency parameter in the time function. In total, there are 11 unknown parameters. We use a n...
متن کاملThe role of biophysical cohesion on subaqueous bed form size.
Biologically active, fine-grained sediment forms abundant sedimentary deposits on Earth's surface, and mixed mud-sand dominates many coasts, deltas, and estuaries. Our predictions of sediment transport and bed roughness in these environments presently rely on empirically based bed form predictors that are based exclusively on biologically inactive cohesionless silt, sand, and gravel. This appro...
