Scaling surf zone turbulence
[1] Turbulence in the surf zone, the shallow region adjacent to the shoreline, has a key role in beach erosion, fertilization, dispersal, and larval settlement of marine invertebrates, and microbial contamination dilution in beach waters. Breakingwave generated (the dominant source) surf zone turbulence is understood poorly. A new surf zone turbulent dissipation rate scaling is derived, that co...
متن کاملEvaluation of turbulence closure models under spilling and plunging breakers in the surf zone
Turbulence closure models are evaluated for application to spilling and plunging breakers in the surf zone using open source computational fluid dynamics software. A new library of turbulence models for application to multiphase flows has been developed and is assessed for numerical efficiency and accuracy by comparing against existing laboratory data for surface elevation, velocity and turbule...
متن کاملComments on some recent measurements of anomalously steep and 03 tracer spectra in the stratospheric surf zone
Recent aircraft measurements, primarily in the extratropics, of the horizontal variance of nitrous oxide (N90] and ozone (O• in the middle stratosnho, ro, indicate that horizontal spectra of the tracer variance scale nearly as k -2, where k is the spatial wavenumber along the aircraft flight track [$trahan and Mahlman, 1994; Bacmeister et al., 1996]. This spectral scaling has been regarded as i...
متن کاملWave Group Forcing of Low Frequency Surf Zone Motion
The nearshore potential vorticity balance of Bowen and Holman (1989) is expanded to include the forcing from wave group-induced radiation stresses. Model results suggest that the forcing from these radiation stresses can drive oscillations in the longshore current that have a spatial structure similar to linear shear instabilities of the longshore current. In addition, the forced response is ne...
متن کاملGeneralized Set of Boussinesq equations for surf zone region
In this report, generalized wave breaking equations are developed using three dimensional fully nonlinear extended Boussinesq equations to encompass rotational dynamics in wave breaking zone. The derivation for vorticity distributions are developed from Reynold based stress equations.
