Water surface response to turbulent flow over a backward-facing step

Q Luo, G Dolcetti, T Stoesser, S Tait - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
The water surface response to subcritical turbulent flow over a backward-facing step (BFS) is
studied via high-resolution large-eddy simulation (LES). The LES method is validated first …

Vortex imprints on a free surface as proxy for surface divergence

OM Babiker, I Bjerkebæk, A Xuan, L Shen… - Journal of Fluid …, 2023 - cambridge.org
In turbulence near a free surface, strong vortices attach to the surface, creating surface
imprints visible as nearly circular 'dimples'. By studying these imprints in direct numerical …

Comparison of schlieren-based techniques for measurements of a turbulent and wavy free surface
