Flow Visualizations



 
 
 Lagrangian particles in the wave bottom boundary layer during transition.  6 second wave period - side view.





 Vorticity fields from calculations of flow over a sand ripple.




 Kinetic energy dissipation rate for simulations of the wave bottom boundary layer over a smooth surface.  5 second period, Um = 80 cm/s, side view (x-z plane).




 Kinetic energy dissipation rate for simulations of the wave bottom boundary layer over a smooth surface.  Top view (x-z plane).




 This is a large zip archive containing several movies and a powerpoint presentation on internal tides on a slope in the oceanic benthic boundary layer.




 Sheet flow simulation with a two-phase variable density model.  A vertical plane of the reference concentration and velocity vectors from a 3D simulation is shown.




 Sheet flow simulation #2, a 3D visualization of reference concentration of sediment in a 3 second period turbulent boundary layer.  The blue iso-surface is the 5 percent concentration contour.




 Sheet flow simulation of Horikawa's experiment.  Model results have similar mean flow properties to the lab measurements.



Volume of Fluid simulation of waves in a tank.  Both the water and
air are modeled together.  Velocity vectors and density contours are shown.
