Gravity wave turbulence in a laboratory flume.
We present an experimental study of the statistics of surface gravity wave turbulence in a flume of a horizontal size 12 x 6 m. For a wide range of amplitudes the wave energy spectrum was found to scale as Eomega approximately omega(-nu) in a frequency range of up to one decade. However, nu appears to be nonuniversal: it depends on the wave intensity and ranges from about 6 to 4. We discuss our...
متن کاملResponse of a Channel With Alternate Bars to a Decrease in Supply of Mixed.Size Bed Load: A Flume Experiment
Gravel bed channels have a much greater capacity than sand bed channels to regulate the mobility of the bed surface through the formation of a surface layer of bed particles that is coarser than the particles supplied as load. The coarse surface layer affects bed mobility in two important ways. First, it reduces differences in mobility between coarser and finer particles on the bed surface by m...
متن کاملGravity surface wave turbulence in a laboratory flume
We present experimental results for water wave turbulence excited by piston-like programmed wavemakers in a water flume with dimensions 6 × 12 × 1.5 meters. Our main finding is that for a wide range of excitation amplitudes the energy spectrum has a power-law scaling, Eω ∼ ω−ν . These scalings were achieved in up to one-decade wide frequency range, which is significantly wider than the range av...
متن کاملUsing Penetrometers to Measure Sea Bed Properties
The principal objective of this work has been to develop a set of mechanical, remote-sensing tools that will permit the determination of the main geotechnical variables that control mine burial in the bottom. These variables include the shear strength of both soft, fine-grained sediments and coarser, dilative granular sediments. A further objective is to understand better the response of typica...
متن کاملDesign, commissioning and performance of a device to vary the turbulence in a recirculating flume
Ambient turbulent flow structures are one of the key drivers that will determine the rate of wake recovery downstream of tidal turbines. For second and third generation arrays or farms such a parameter is critical for the determination of inter-device spacing and the optimisation of energy extraction per unit surface area. At present offshore flow characterisation is dominated by seabed or surf...
