Hydrodynamics and Roughness of Irregular Boundaries.

摘要

The research goals of the ongoing work target accurate parameterization and modeling of nearshore waves, currents and turbulence in complex reef environments. A central theme of this work is the response of steady and oscillating flow to highly irregular, broad-banded roughness. Previous ONR supported study by the PI s group have quantified reef roughness, examined the hydrodynamic response to a variable roughness at small scales and explored the relationship between hydrodynamic and physical roughness.
