Velocity flow field and water level measurements in shoaling and breaking water waves. 7th South African Conference on Computational and Applied Mechanics (SACAM10), University of Pretoria, Pretoria, 10-13 January 2010, pp 14978-0-620-49192-1http://hdl.handle.net/10204/49767th South African Conference on Computational and Applied Mechanics (SACAM10), University of Pretoria, Pretoria, 10-13 January 2010In this paper we report on the laboratory investigations of breaking water waves. Measurements of the water levels and instantaneous fluid velocities were conducted in water waves breaking on a sloping beach within a glass flume. Instantaneous water levels were measured using capacitive waves gauges, while the instantaneous velocity flow fields were measured using video techniques together with digital correlation techniques. The instantaneous velocity flow fields were further analyzed to yield turbulence intensities, turbulent kinetic energies and vorticity.enBreaking water wavesDigital correlation image velocimetry (DCIV)Velocity flow fieldsTurbulence intensitiesVorticityApplied mechanicsComputational mechanicsSACAM 2010Conference PresentationMukaro, R., Govender, K., Gledhill, I.
