Laboratory PIV measurements of wave breaking on a beach
Experiment were conducted in the ESIM wave tank in Marseilles in order to study the space/time evolution of the flow field under waves breaking on an 1/15 beach slope. Fluid particles velocities were measured at different depths, before, during and after the breaking event using the Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) technique. The mean and fluctuant components of the flow were calculated.
متن کاملSimulation of entrainment near a density stratified layer: Laboratory experiment and LIDAR observation
In this paper a simple qualitative model of the growth of a mixed layer adjacent to a uniform layer with a stably stratified layer is presented. The depth variations of mixed layer can be estimated from direct measurements. The Entrainment of a stably stratified layer into a turbulent mixed layer in a confined region was studied in laboratory for different Richardson numbers. The internal waves...
متن کاملChapter Five: Effects of Sandy Beach Cusps on Wrack Accumulation, Sediment Characteristics and Macrofaunal Communities
Wrack deposition on sandy beaches varies spatially and is affected by morphological features on the beach-face such as cusps. This study tested a series of hypotheses regarding the differences in wrack deposits, sediments and macrofaunal communities between cusp bays and horns. Bays had greater cover and larger pieces of wrack than horns. Sediment organic-matter content was greater on horns tha...
متن کاملCoordination through Reputations: A Laboratory Experiment
One of the functions of reputations in societies is to enable coordination, and some of the most familiar instances of this occur when reputations are based on past actions. For example, a history of aggressive play is often interpreted as predicting more aggressive play in the future. This permits a pair of individuals with unequal reputations for aggressiveness to avoid wasteful conßict that ...
متن کاملSimulating Decision Support Systems: A Laboratory Experiment
This study implements decision support systems (DSS) in a business simulation game. Fifty-Eight companies, consisting of about 300 senior graduate students participating in a business game, developed DSS and reported on the systems developed. We later evaluated a number of variables related to their DSS: use of systems, contribution of systems, and user satisfaction. Our findings validate the u...
