    ADVANCES IN COASTAL AND OCEAN ENGINEERING
    Interaction of Strong Turbulence with Free Surfaces

    Guest Editor M Brocchini (University of Genova, Italy)
    Guest Editor D H Peregrine (University of Bristol, UK)
    & edited by Philip L-F Liu (Cornell University, USA)

    This book is a useful source of ideas and information for scientists whose work involves understanding and modelling turbulent flows with free surfaces. It has the following merits: (1) It provides a framework for developing the analysis of this field, which, although important, has received only limited study; (2) It recognizes the importance of the two-phase nature of strongly disturbed free surface flows, with both natural and technological applications; (3) It suggests possible lines of future research (especially experimental) to quantify the characteristics of flow regimes which are mainly known qualitatively at present.

     
    Contents:
    • The Dynamics of Strong Turbulence at Free Surfaces. Part 1. Description (M Brocchini & D H Peregrine)
    • The Cross-Stream Profile of Gentle Spilling Breakers (T Steinbach et al.)
    • Very Strong Free-Surface Aeration in Turbulent Flows: Entrainment Mechanisms and Air-Water Flow Structure at the “Pseudo” Free Surface (H Chanson)
    • The Dynamics of Strong Turbulence at Free Surfaces. Part 2. Free-Surface Boundary Conditions (M Brocchini & D H Peregrine)
     
    Readership: Researchers and graduate students dealing with advances in the field of turbulent flows with free surfaces.
