Abstract: The flow field of a neutrally buoyant turbulent round jet discharged horizontally into a wavy environment was investigated. A set of experiments applying the laser induced fluorescence technique was conducted to measure ...

Abstract: The behavior of a neutrally buoyant turbulent round jet located at the middepth discharging horizontally into a shallow water wave environment was investigated. Regular progressive waves with relatively small wave amplitudes ...

Abstract: A method which combines two nonintrusive imaging techniques, particle tracking velocimetry and laser induced fluorescence, was used to make simultaneous measurements of velocity and concentration in a neutrally buoyant ...

Abstract: The present study is to parameterize the influence of regular progressive waves on the diffusion of a neutrally buoyant turbulent round jet experimentally. The jet, located at the middepth, discharges into the wave field ...

Abstract: This paper presents simultaneous measurements using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) techniques on the study of a horseshoe vortex system. The horseshoe vortex system is generated near ...

Abstract: The viscous effect on the roll motion of a rectangular structure was investigated in a two-dimensional wave tank. The structure was used to simulate a simplified barge in the beam sea condition. The structure with a draft ...

Abstract: This paper presents a combined experimental and numerical effort to study solitary wave runup and rundown on beaches. Both nonbreaking and breaking solitary waves are investigated. A two-dimensional numerical model that ...

Abstract: The flow patterns of various dropping flows were investigated and classified experimentally for subcritical approach flows passing a vertical drop pool. A wave gauge was used to measure the free surface fluctuations in the ...

Abstract: A set of large-scale laboratory experiments were conducted to study the migration of meandering channel. Factors affecting the change of banklines, including the ratio of centerline curvature to channel width, bend angle, ...
