Title: | An experimental study of the surface drift currents in a wave flume | Authors: | Huang, Zhenhua | Keywords: | DRNTU::Social sciences::Geography::Oceanography | Issue Date: | 2006 | Source: | Huang, Z. (2007). An experimental study of the surface drift currents in a wave flume. Ocean Engineering, 34(2), 343-352. | Series/Report no.: | Ocean engineering | Abstract: | The Lagrangian surface drift current induced by surface gravity waves in a wave flume has been investigated experimentally by the particle tracking method. It was observed that in most regions of the flume, the time-mean surface drift current was in the opposite direction to that of the wave propagation. The secondary current in the form of a pair of longitudinal vortices caused by the lateral boundaries was analyzed. It is suggested that the convection of the vorticity generated by the wave-absorber and the lateral boundaries is an important factor in the determination of the time-mean drift in a wave flume. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/97492 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/10527 |
