چکیده
The flow in a breaking wave is a t>'pe of agitation which is conducive to foam formation. The downstream wake of a surface vessel in the seaway also is characterized by a layer of foamy, agitated water near the surface, and a subsurface layer of bubbles or a bubble cloud. The purpose of this report is to discuss the basic features of foam and bubble formation, and air entrainment as these features are known at the present time. We shall discuss possible means for relating these basic feamres to the processes of deep water wave breaking and of wake formation and development for surface ships moving in the seaway.

Modeling Turbulent Entrainment of Air at a Free Surface
Overview In free-surface flows the turbulence in the liquid may be sufficient to disturb the surface to the point of entraining air into the flow. This process is important, for example, in water treatment where air is needed to sustain microorganisms for water purification and in rivers and streams for sustaining a healthy fish population. Air entrainment is typically engineered into spillways...
متن کاملSimulation of entrainment near a density stratified layer: Laboratory experiment and LIDAR observation
In this paper a simple qualitative model of the growth of a mixed layer adjacent to a uniform layer with a stably stratified layer is presented. The depth variations of mixed layer can be estimated from direct measurements. The Entrainment of a stably stratified layer into a turbulent mixed layer in a confined region was studied in laboratory for different Richardson numbers. The internal waves...
متن کاملModeling Air Entrainment and Transport in a Hydraulic Jump using Two-Fluid RANS and DES Turbulence Models
Both RaNS (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) and DES (Detached Eddy Simulation) type turbulence models were used in conjunction with a two-fluid model of bubbly flow and a new subgrid air entrainment model to predict air entrainment and transport in a hydraulic jump. It was found that the void fraction profiles predicted by both methods are in agreement with the experimental data in the lower sh...
متن کاملUnsteady air bubble entrainment and detrainment at a plunging breaker: dominant time scales and similarity of water level variations
At plunging breakers, air bubbles are entrained at the impingement of the water jet, formed at the top of the wave, with the water free surface in front. During the present study, air bubble entrainment at a pseudo-plunging breaker was investigated at near full-scale and further experimental work studied the bubble detrainment process. Experimental observations included the generation and propa...
متن کاملMechanism of air entrainment by a disturbed liquid jet
It was shown in recent work that the crests of surface disturbances on a falling jet are a powerful agent for air entrainment at the free surface of a liquid pool. The paper explores the opposite case in which the jet is disturbed so as to form an axisymmetric trough, rather than a crest. It is found that no air is entrained in this case. The paper concludes with some considerations on the vali...
