In this review paper, state-of-the-art observational and numerical modeling methods for
small scale turbulence and mixing with applications to coastal oceans are presented in one …

The oceanic bottom boundary layer extracts energy and momentum from the overlying flow,
mediates the fate of near-bottom substances, and generates bedforms that retard the flow …

Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) measurements of the velocity field under breaking
waves in the laboratory are presented. The region of turbulent fluid directly generated by …

This paper is dedicated to wave-induced turbulence unrelated to wave breaking. The
existence of such turbulence has been foreshadowed in a number of experimental …

Observations with a three-axis pulse-to-pulse coherent acoustic Doppler profiler and
acoustic resonators reveal the turbulence and bubble field beneath breaking waves in the …

This paper considers an experimental attempt to estimate the spectral distribution of the
dissipation due to breaking of dominant waves. A field wave record with an approximately …

This paper presents novel insights into suspended sediment concentrations and fluxes
under a large-scale laboratory plunging wave. Measurements of sediment concentrations …

We present the results of laboratory and field measurements on the stability of wind-driven
water surfaces. The laboratory measurements show that when exposed to an increasing …

Physical phenomena at an air–water interface are of interest in a variety of flows with both
industrial and natural/environmental applications. In this paper, we present novel …
