LIF Measurement of the Diluting Effect of Surface Waves on Turbulent Buoyant Plumes

Abstract

A Laser Induced Fluorescence ?LIF? tec hnique has been used to measure the e?ect of surface w v a es on a buo an y t plume? Time a eraged? full ?eld v concen tration maps w ere produced whic hallo ed not only a study of the diluting w e?ects of the w v a es? but also in estigation of other plume parameters? Both an v enhanced diluting e?ect due to surface w v a es and the region where this increased mixing tak es place w ere found.
