Secondary circulation of the flow due to waves - Laser-doppler flow measurements following or opposing a current

Previous measurements (e.g., Klopman, 1994) have shown that in the centre-line of the flume the mean horizontal velocity profile in waves fol/owing the current bends back in the upper region of the water column compared to the current alone case. For waves opposing the current the opposite behaviour was found . In order to explain this behaviour...

Vertical structure of the flow due to waves and currents - Laser-doppler flow measurements for waves following or opposing a current

Changes in the mean horizontal-velocity profile in combined wave-current motion, outside the bottom boundary-layer, are essential for the correct prediction of cross-shore sediment transport outside the surf zone and the transport of dissolved matter, e.g. Klopman (1992). To be able to verify mathematical and numerical models (see Klopman, 1992)...
