Advances In Coastal And Ocean Engineering, Volume 8: Interaction Of Strong Turbulence With Free Surfaces

by Maurizio Brocchini (Editor), D Howell Peregrine (Editor), Philip L-f Liu (Editor)

Overview

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.
