  • Clustering, coalescing and bursting processes in surface bubbles of surfactant water flows
    Yasunori Watanabe; Ayumi Saruwatari
    Flow, 4, Cambridge University Press (CUP), 14 Oct. 2024
    Scientific journal, Breaking waves aerate seawater surfaces and form whitecaps in the open ocean. The aerated surface area, or whitecap coverage, has been used to macroscopically parametrize air–sea momentum and gas exchange. However, the microscopic mechanisms of the generation, evolution and attenuation of surface bubbles in whitecaps remain poorly understood. In this study, we examined the size distributions and size-dependent lifetimes of surface bubbles generated by water sheet entry and air injection on a porous plate during the clustering, coalescing and bursting processes, depending on surfactant concentrations and bubble mobility. Mechanisms of coalescence through film thinning of adjacent bubble walls owing to the inter-bubble attraction and Marangoni forces experimentally described the surfactant-dependent bubble growth, finally achieving bubble bursting, which were statistically characterized in a population balance analysis. Lagrangian bubble lifetimes were described by the Weibull distribution, providing that surfactant in seawater extended the probabilistic survival periods of surface bubbles two times longer than those of clean bubbles.

  • Bubble-Turbulence, Bubble-Surface, and Bubble-Bubble Interactions during Bubble Rise onto Free-Surfaces: (Exploring Mechanisms to Form Whitecaps on Breaking Ocean Waves)
    WATANABE Yasunori
    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF MULTIPHASE FLOW, 37, 3, 300, 307, THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR MULTIPHASE FLOW, Sep. 2023
    Japanese, Breaking waves entrains huge amounts of air bubbles into bulk seawater, which is involved in turbulence produced in splash-up breaking processes. Buoyant bubbles arriving wave surfaces aggregate to form clusters behind the wave front (so-called whitecap). While a series of the bubble dynamics are believed to be relevant to air-sea momentum transfers and gas exchanges, microscopic bubble behaviors on whitecap water surface in wave breaking turbulence have not been understood. This article introduces previous research progress on mechanical interactions between bubble and turbulence in bulk water under breaking waves, interactions of rising bubble with water surface in addition to interactions among bubbles floating on surface resulting in formation of whitecap water.

    Japanese, Sea level rise expected during climate changes is one of the important issues in future coastal protection. To estimate the sea level at coast with tectonic activity, the observed sea level records need to be collected with the ground displacement. This paper presents a regression analysis of the sea level rise estimated by tidal records collected with ground level observations along coasts of Hokkaido. The error analysis provides conditions to extract available datasets observed at local sites with tectonic displacements. Future projections of the current estimations are consistent with predictions by the previous climate-ocean models, which ensures appropriate analysis for future sea level rise.

    Japanese, In this study, a theoretical frequency condition to create the focusing wave packet in uniform current is proposed and validated through wave-current experiments. We observed the maximum surface elevation monotonically increase with the current velocity and the highest elevation of six times higher than the initial wave amplitude is recorded at the highest current velocity in the present experimental conditions. We also found the temporal variations of the spectrum width during the focusing process and the nonlinear steep wave form with double harmonic component at the focusing location.
  • SUBGRID MODEL OF BUBBLE-FOAM-COUPLED TURBULENT FLOW

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B2 (Coastal Engineering), 77, 2, I_43, I_48, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2021
    Japanese, In this study, the novel LES-Stochastic model describing bubble rise, bubble-interface interactions, bubble cluster formations, coupled with turbulent fluid motion, has been proposed. The foam model, developed on the basis of the analytical solution of bubble-bubble mechanical interactions by Nicolson (1948), reasonably simulated oscillatory bubble behaviors beneath the interface and formations of the bubble clusters. These processes create additional turbulence near the interface and thus enhance surface renewal, which may contribute material transport between air and water.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, Kaneto et al. proposed a method to evaluate possible future tsunami caused by submarine landslide. However, superposition with tsunami caused by active faults, which is likely to cause submarine landslides, has not been investigated. This study focuses on the distribution of tsunami arrival times within a radius of 100 km from the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station, proposes a method for determining the combination of tsunamis caused by submarine landslides and active fault. In addition, we evaluated the maximum water level due to the superimposed tsunami by the linear addition method of the tsunami numerical simulation and the method by coupled analysis, and it was confirmed that there was no significant difference in the tendency of the analysis results by either method.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. A2 (Applied Mechanics (AM)), 75, 2, I_531, I_537, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2019, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese,

    This study is to examine applicability of air-ion concentration to improve estimation accyracy of production rate of sea spray from the ocean. Concentration of air negative ions that is know to be influenced by generation of tiny sea spray was found to response to variation in production of film droplets induced by bubble bursting on water surface from our laboratory experiment. Also, concentration of air negative ions was observed in three ocean areas along Hokkaido, Japan; Sea of Japan, Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean. The ion concentration was found to be correlated with the wind speed, wave height and whitecap ratio, all of which have been used as a model parameter of Sea Spray Generation Functions, indicating possibility of using air-ion concentration to accurate estimation of sea spray production.

  • CHARACTERISTICS OF COLLISION FORCE AND ITS SIMPLE EVALUATION FORMULA FOR BRITTLE MATERIALS SUCH AS SEA ICE BASE ON MEDIUM-SCALE EXPERIMENTS AND NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B2 (Coastal Engineering), 73, 2, I_973, I_978, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2017, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese,  Medium-scale experiments and numerical calculations by DEM were performed to examine the dynamic fracture of sea ice masses by their collisions with prismatic structures along with a flat plane and to propose a simple method to estimate the collision force. It was confirmed that the actual collision under ideal conditions such as complete surface to surface contact by ice with uniform material properties would be very rare, and that the experimental results were consequently scattered. The maximum collision forces by the numerical calculations agreed with a theoretical simple formula for a flat-plane structure whether ice fracture occurred or not. We proposed a simple method to estimate the forces with structures with arbitrary size base on the theoretical formula and the experimental results including DEM/FEM.

    Japanese,  This paper presents mechanical features of transitional air-water momentum and energy transfers in initial growing wind waves on the basis of the fluid flow statistics observed in wind-wave tunnel experiments. In the initial waves with short fetch, superpositions of capillary waves on the crest of gravity waves generate significant vorticity and transport it downward, resulting in a thick momentum boundary layer containing organized vortices. As the capillaries attenuate in growing wind-driven current via wave-current interaction, with increase of fetch, vorticity generation also attenuate and thus the thickness of the boundary layer decrease.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B2 (Coastal Engineering), 73, 2, I_829, I_834, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2017, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese,  Tomamae fishing port is hindered the use of port areas and boat moorings behind the western outskirts by the overtopping waves, especially in winter season. However, in this port, comprehensive viewpoints including the formation of overtopping waves and environmental conditions which generate wave overtopping have not been revealed yet. In this study, in order to understand the wave overtopping in the western outskirts, field observation using a web camera was conducted, and various analyzes were made on the relationship between the overtopping wave phenomenon captured by the web camera and environmental conditions, including wave, wind and tidal level. Furthermore, conducting numerical simulation with CADMAS-SURF, on-site characteristics on wave overtopping were revealed.

    Japanese,  Typhoon Lionlock (2016) followed a complicated route that was different from the conventional typhoon. Lionlock moved northwest of the Tohoku region, and proceeded to the Sea of Japan . the typhoon caused large fishery damage due to windward flow and strong winds in Hokkaido's Uchura Bay.it is very important to calcurate tide deviation occured by typhoon that followed a characteristic course. Therefore, in this study, numerical experiments using a typhoon model and nonlinear longwave model were performed. Using the Lionlock typhoon as a model, we calculated the storm surge of eight possible tracks, clarified the occurrence characteristics of the tide deviation in Uchiura Bay and estimated the damages along each track. Further, we made calculations for creating a tidal flooded immersion area map (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport), and obtained knowledge on measures to use against storm surges along the coast of Uchiura Bay in the future.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B2 (Coastal Engineering), 73, 2, I_91, I_96, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2017, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese,  A novel experiment of free-surface deformation in a rotating circular cylinder is proposed in this study, which physically models an air-tube fragment observed in a plunging wave breaking. It is found during the experiment that the fragment is induced by unstable anti-symmetric rotating flows around air-tube affected by centrifugal force, surface tension, buoyancy and drag force. Overall features of the fragment wave-number and critical rotation frequency can be described in terms of Froude and Weber numbers.

    Japanese, For rigorious description of upper ocean dynamics and resultant volume transport at the mouth of Tanabe Bay, Wakayama, Japan, a comprehensive field campaign was conducted from summer to fall of 2015. The vertical structure of transient dynamics in the surface boundary layer and consequent water exchange at the mouth are characterized by high-frequency variability peaked at around the semi-diurnal period as well as in the lower-frequency subtidal band centered at 3 day period, consistent with the previous modeling study. A spectral coherence analysis indicates that near-surface currents are mainly driven by wind stress peaked at the diurnal frequency, whereas subsurface currents fluctuate rather by semi-diurnal internal tides. The upper ocean cools down gradually, corresponding to seasonal transition from summer to fall condition. However, an abrupt cooling event is observed albeit in a calm local forcing condition where an offshore subtidal cold water intrusion induced remotely by the fluctuating Kuroshio path plays an essential role.

    Japanese, This study focuses on the process of thermocline's destruction and reformation during typhoons using field observation data. The thermocline has a large effect on the circulation and would be a factor to make water worse. Therefore, it is necessary to understand its process deeply. In this study, the stability of density stratification was evaluated based on the Brant-Vaisala frequency and the Richardson number. The results suggested that high wave destroyed the stratification and high wind mixed ocean water vertically more energetically during stratified season. On the other hand, is was found that stratification was unstable regardless of typhoon intensity during unstratified season. Moreover, the characteristics of water-mass were evaluated on the TS diagram during unstratified season.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B2 (Coastal Engineering), 72, 2, I_247, I_252, 公益社団法人 土木学会, 2016, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese,  Explosively developing extratropical cyclones are becoming one of the important factors to cause a storm surge in winter. This study statistically evaluates risk of storm surge based on 3D flow fields under developing storm surge computed for various meteorological conditions. Vertical structure of the flow in the Nemuro Bay driven by the strong wind and wind-induced surface gradient showed characteristics different from that in the open ocean forming a typical Ekman spiral. Surge height and event duration are sensitive to the cyclone trajectory. The results of this study also shows the highest surge level in the Nemuro Bay had a risk to increase more than 1.5 times as high as the highest surge of the storm event in 2014.

    Japanese, Sea spray is one of the important factors to affect weather conditions over the ocean in terms of constituting an aerosol as well as determining air-sea transport of heat, moisture and momentum. The final goal of this study is to explain the relationship between sea-spray generation and conditions of the atmosphere and ocean for a more accurate prediction of the amount of sea spray. This study conducted three-year field observations of atmospheric aerosol at an offshore observatory in Tanabe Bay, Wakayama. Large-scale (> 100 km) distribution of atmospheric aerosol was found to dominate the concentration of the observed aerosol less than 1 μm in normal weather conditions. During storm events with strong winds from the Pacific Ocean, however, the observed concentration monotonically increased with the wind speed, which is considered to be a result of the increase in oceanic aerosol derived from sea spray.

    Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B2 (Coastal Engineering), 72, 2, I_67, I_72, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2016, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, Scientific journal,  This paper presents the boundary condition model, based on empirical contact angle model, for free-surfaces on moving contact lines of run-up waves. The inundation process on an urban topographic model composed of streets and impermeable blocks, which models urban floods observed in Kamaishi city affected by the 2011 Tohoku tsunami, was computed in this study. We find unsteady bores are consecutively formed under steady overflows from a tide wall and propagate along streets, which causes unsteady wave forces on urban buildings for long time.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE JAPANESE CONFERENCE ON COASTAL ENGINEERING, 71, 2, I_43, I_48, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2015
    Japanese, In this study, imaging experiments for measuring free-surface shapes of run-up dambreak waves and fluid velocity distributions on the basis of Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) and Super-Resolution Particle Imaging Velocimetry (SRPIV) were performed with aim to identify kinetic features of the run-up flows depending on slop angles. Organized patterns of the rotational shear flows are found to be formed in the bottom and surface boundary layers behind the wave front, which provides mechanical effects to provide typical blob-like surface shape in the wave front as well as wavy surface form behind it.

    Japanese, In this study, local behaviors of cavities formed at impact of a steady planar jet onto still water were measured on the basis of a high-speed, high-resolution back-light imaging technique. The characteristic time and length scales to define deformation of the cavities, depending on the impact velocity, were analyzed to identify the mechanisms of the cavity growth. The both capillary and vortex-induced pressure are found to govern the local cavity behaviors.
  • INTERACTION BETWEEN SEA ICE FLOES DRIVEN BY RUN-UP TSUNAMI AND A STRUCTURE WITH PILOTI COLUMN CONSTRUCTION

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE JAPANESE CONFERENCE ON COASTAL ENGINEERING, 71, 2, I_919, I_924, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2015
    Japanese, We performed model experiments to clarify the increased risks caused by sea ice floes driven by runup tsunami against a structure with piloti column construction, which has been applied to a tsunami evacuation facility. After the collision force imparted by the ice floes acts on the columns, the run-up flow is dammed by the formation of ice jams and ice pile-ups between the columns, and a large static force in the main flow direction. The force is one order of magnitude greater than that in case without ice floes, also acts on the structure because of the water level rise and the ice pile-ups in front of the structure and because of hydrostatic pressure between the columns due to the ice-jam, and this steady state remains for some time. A large force in the vertical direction also acts on the structure, which is the same level as that in the main flow direction. We suggested that, in designing of structures with openings, such as windows and space between columns, the design force for tsunami flow acting on such parts should not be reduced because of the formation of the ice jams and pile-ups. We also suggested that we should evacuate to higher places than usual, because of the water level rise and the ice pile-ups.

    Japanese, Tanabe bay is a small embayment connected directly to the Pacific Ocean to the south, whereas frequently suffers from harmful algal blooms due to sewage effluent and the local aquaculture industry. For preserving the ecosystem in the bay, it is necessary to understand an oceanic structure in the bay along with water exchange at the bay entrance. We thus conduct a comprehensive investigation consisting of a shipboard measurement, a season-long platform observation, and a triply nested high-resolution ocean modeling. The water exchange at the bay mouth is largely affected by semi-diurnal tidal currents and episodic subtidal intrusion of the offshore water controlled by mesoscale circulations.

    Japanese, Imaging measurements of runup dam-break waves over sloping beds were performed for identifying kinematic features of wave propagation and free-surface transition. It has been found that typical blob like front shapes with transverse undulations were developed during propagation especially on highly sloping beds. The rolling motion of the wave front at the bed contact was observed to entrain air beneath the water layer behind the front, which becomes mechanically unstable to be fragmented into bubbles and to affect the wave forms.
  • Characteristics of Run-up Tsunami with Sea Ice Floes in Urban Area
    KIOKA Shinji; MORI Masaya; ENDO Tsutomu; TAKEUCHI Takahiro; WATANABE Yasunori
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE JAPANESE CONFERENCE ON COASTAL ENGINEERING, 70, 2, I_821, I_825, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2014
    Japanese, We made model experiments on run-up tsunami inunduation flow with sea ice floes in an urban area. After the collision force of ice acts on structures, flow is dammed up due to the formation of Ice-jam between the structures, and large static force also acts on the structures because of water level rise and water pressure between the structures due to the jamming. The steady state is kept for a while. While we developed a simple mechanical model for estimation of the water depth and the tsunami force at the steady state, we compared calculated values by this model with experimental ones to verify the validity of the model. Further, in the design of facilities with openings such as windows and pilotis, we proposed that the design force by tsunami current acting on such parts should not be reduced because of the jamming.
  • Oxygen Transfer model for Bubble-Laden Turbulence Generated by Plunging Liquid Jets
    NIIDA Yasuo; WATANABE Yasunori
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE JAPANESE CONFERENCE ON COASTAL ENGINEERING, 70, 2, I_51, I_55, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2014
    Japanese, This paper proposed an oxygen transfer model for bubble-laden turbulence generated by plunging jets. The proposing model has been validated through comparisons with experiments for bubble velocity, liquid velocity, liquid turbulence and oxygen flux. It was found dissolved oxygen concentrations in bubbly flows was determined by local bubble behaviors and turbulent flows modified around bubbles. This bubble-mediated gas transfer via mechanical interaction between bubbles and turbulence is important to understand air-sea gas exchange in the surf zone.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, This paper presents a novel stochastic-LES hybrid model for favre averaged bubble-turbulence interactions in free-surface flows. The current model is found to be capable of computing local behaviors of dense bubble flows coupled with fluid turbulent motion, which is ensured by comparisons with experimental observations. The model is also applied to the flow at a planar jet impact onto a still water, as a model of overturning jets of breaking waves, which reasonably computed cavity deformation, air tube entrainment and bubble formations.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, This study describes a horizontal circulation induced by the breaking of internal Kelvin waves over a uniform slope. In lakes or coastal regions, wind stress over a water surface or tide at the bay mouth may induce internal waves, which deform as internal Kelvin waves when the inertia radius is equal or less than the spatial scale of a lake or a bay. In general, internal Kelvin waves break due to the topographical features, such as a slope, which is revealed to cause horizontal circulation in the upper layer. The previous studies demonstrated that a horizontal circulation is induced due to the secondary lateral current due to the breaking of internal Kelvin waves over a slope. However, the development and damping of the horizontal circulation have not been clarified. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the occurrence of a horizontal circulation due to the internal Kelvin wave breaking over a slope by using laboratory experiments and numerical computations.

    Japanese, High speed infrared imaging measurements were performed for identifying mechanical factors to govern surface skin temperatures on wind waves under moderate to strong winds. Surface renewals owing to turbulent disturbances are found to predominantly determine the skin temperature amplitude and phase lags to surface elevation, which is parameterized by a so-called wind-wave Reynolds number (RB). The modulations of the skin temperature variations are observed at RB ~ 4 × 104, indicating governing dynamics to produce surface turbulence is altered at the boundary.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, In enclosed bays, a two-layer system is likely to be formed due to the fresh water from rivers and solar radiation in summer. External forces, such as wind and tide, cause internal waves in a two-layers system, in which the Coriolis effect induces internal Kelvin waves. When internal Kelvin waves propagate over a slope, they break and cause turbulence, which results in the occurrence of horizontal circulation. However, previous studies have not revealed how breaking induces horizontal circulation. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the mechanisms of horizontal circulation induced by the breaking of internal Kelvin waves by using numerical analysis and laboratory experiments.

    Proceedings, ... meeting of Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics, 2010, 0, 293, 293, 日本流体力学会, 2010, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is one of the powerful computational tools to enhance local computing resolution at less costs. In this paper, computational performances of AMR for tsunami simulations were examined through computational tests for long wave propagation initiated by collapse of the water column on still water in terms of the accuracy and computational cost. AMR was also applied to a practical tsunami evolution-2003 Tokachioki earthquake tsunami, which was compared with measured water elevation for examining the certainties of this method. It was found through the numerical tests that the present method is capable of efficiently performing reliable computations of tsunami propagation at high resolution.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE JAPANESE CONFERENCE ON COASTAL ENGINEERING, 65, 1, 6, 10, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2009
    English, Two-way stochastic subgrid bubble models to determine the number density and sizes of small air-bubbles entrained under circular jets and the advetion and diffusion process for Large Eddy Simulation (LES) are proposed in this paper. The proposing model has been applied to two simple air-water two phase flows - the bubble flow in still water as well as the aerated flow under circular jet flowing into still water. It was found that the bubble motion intensifies the turbulence, which enhances fluctuating bubble motion. This air-water energy tranfer via turbulent interaction is important factor to determine the near-surface fluid dynamics.

    English, A flip-through overtopping jet evolves into laterally deintegrated jets, so-called finger jets, at an early stage of the wave uprush on a vertical wall. The finger jets are vertically stretched to fragment into small multiple droplets or sprays. In this study, these fingering and fragmenting processes were visualized, and the shapes of the jets and sprays were quantitatively measured on the basis of novel level-set image detecting algorithm. The evolution of the size distributions and water volume fractions for the both jets and sprays were characterized via spectrum image analysis.

  • Visualization of Bubble and Sea Spray at Air-Water Interface : Microscopic Characteristics of Sea Surface Wave Breaking

    Journal of Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics, 27, 4, 311, 320, Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics, 25 Aug. 2008, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, A wave breaking in the surf zone generates sea bubbles into the sea and releases air spray into the atmosphere. The sizes of air bubbles and spray are widely distributed from micrometer to centimeter. Moreover, these bubbles and spray are generated inhomogeneously both temporally and spatially. The two-phase flow measurements using imaging technique for two-dimensional bubble measurements are summarized for the surf zone breaking waves. The characteristics of air bubbles and sprays in the surf zone such as number distributions, bubble size spectra, and turbulent characteristics of fluid velocity are reviewed based on the visualization technique developed recently.

    Japanese, In this study, the mechanism to produce impact pressure on a wall under fresh water and sea water jets is experimentally investigated through water drop tests. The effects of entrapped air, which is a model of an air pocket formed at coastal structure under breaking waves, are also discussed. Higher impact pressure is found to occur under sea water jets rather than fresh water jet for all cases. It is also found that the entrapped air has a role to reduce the pressure maximal and to change peak frequencies of the impacts. New model to estimate variations of the impact pressure with coefficients determined through the experiments is proposed. It is roughly applicable to estimate the maximum pressure and the duration of the impacts under the jets.

    PROCEEDINGS OF COASTAL ENGINEERING, JSCE, 54, 54, 1466, 1470, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2007, [Peer-reviewed]
    A three-dimensional visualization method (3D-BTV) for bubble measurements was developed to measure bubble shapes and velocities in a liquid. The 3D-BTV method is based on the combination the 3D shadow graph method and 3D super resolution particle tracking velocimetry. The proposed method was verified by virtual experiments and the real measurements of air bubble motions in the water, respectively. In this study, it can be realized that The 3D-BTV method has capability to measure the both bubble shapes and motions in the 3D space with highly temporal-spatial resolution in comparison with the previous technique.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, This paper presents a suspended-particle/liquid two-way coupling model integrated with conventional stochastic and subgrid stress models of a large eddy simulation. The model is applied to particle laden turbulent flows in a wave boundary layer developed over a flat sea bed for understanding dynamic effects of turbulence on the particle size, number density and the density. The turbulence intensification due to the presence of particles results in additional suspensions from the bed, featuring a recursive turbulence/suspension interaction process of the particle laden flow within the boundary layer.

    In this study, distributions of dissolved CO2 under breaking waves are experimentally measured using two-color Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF). CO2 mainly dissolves on gas/water interfaces of the plunging waves and around bubbles entrained by successive plunging jets. vortices induced by the jets quickly diffuse downward the dissolved CO2 together with the bubbles. Undertow transport the dissolved CO2 offshoreward below the trough level for enhancing the CO2 concentration in a whole surf zone.
  • Fragmentation Model for Jetting Free-Surface Flows

    PROCEEDINGS OF COASTAL ENGINEERING, JSCE, 54, 54, 66, 70, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2007, [Peer-reviewed]
    In this paper, a fragmentation model of jets with free-surfaces, describing evolution of the size spectra of sprays during the fragmentation process is developed. A 3-D large eddy simulation reproduces amplification of free-surface disturbances of the jets induced by the counter-rotating vortices and the resulting jetting flows splitting into fingers and sprays. It is found that a probability density of the finger or spray size can be described by a log-normal distribution, and its evolution depends on Weber number. The present fragmentation model is capable of predicting the volume fraction of the jets at arbitrary time after the inception of fragmentation.

    PROCEEDINGS OF COASTAL ENGINEERING, JSCE, 54, 54, 796, 800, Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2007, [Peer-reviewed]
    Long-period waves are often trapped in a port and harbor, and cause disturbances of cargo handling and damages of mooring ropes for ships. A new type of long-period wave absorption structure which involves two oblique walls and a vertical slit between them has been developed for dissipate the waves. In this paper, through a large eddy computer simulation and visual experimental measurement, flow patterns and vortex structures formed with the proposing structure, depending on a relative structure length with incident wavelength, are investigated. The long-period waves are found to be reduced via a combination of energy exchanges to a pair of circulated flows trapped with in the structure and of energy dissipation due to turbulent jets formed at the slit.
  • Measurement of Entrained Air Bubbles and Vortices in Breaking Waves
    Otsuka Junichi; Watanabe Yasunori
    Proceedings, ... meeting of Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics, 2007, 0, 47, 47, 日本流体力学会, 2007, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, Breaking waves produce numbers of vortices through a jet splashing process and also entrain many air bubbles, forming complicated air-water two-phase turbulent flow field in a surf zone. In this research, a simultaneous velocity measurement technique of water and bubble flows in breaking waves is developed for characterizing water-bubble interactions within vortices in a surf zone. The bubbles and neutral buoyant tracers are separately recorded by two different digital video cameras on the basis of an optical filtering technique. It is found that bubble motion does not follow water flow in a vortex, and mean bubble velocity is always higher than water velocity in breaking waves. Bubble-induced turbulent energy is estimated to be less than 10% of total turbulent energy.

    Japanese, The typhoon No.10 hit the Pacific cost in Hokkaido on August 9 in 2003. The casualties were 10 killed and 3 wounded. The missing person has not been found yet. This typhoon gave the biggest damage by flood to Hokkaido in the last twenty years. In Saru River basin and Appetu River basin in Ilidaka region, serious damages, such as flooded house, house failure and bridge fall, occurred by this typhoon. Farmland and flood plain were covered for the large sediment.
    In this paper, we will report an outline of heavy rainfall disasters of Hidaka region in Hokkaido by the typhoon No.10. We hope that the result of this investigation helps to clarify the mechanisms of the heavy rainfall disasters with hydrologic and hydraulic knowledge.

    Japanese, Transition of infrared radiation on a sea surface is strongly influenced by reflection of sunlight and sea surface disturbances. The field measurements of breaking waves in surf zone were conducted by the highly sensitive infrared camera. The characteristic changes of infrared images due to bubble formation at the sea surface are discussed. The distinctive patterns of infrared images are associated with the incident wave phase and the wave breaking. The velocity fields on the sea surface are estimated by the PIV method and the correlation between the sea surface velocity and infrared image changes is discussed. The quantitative method to measure sea surface disturbance by the breaking wave is proposed using the infrared radiation image and image processing technique.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, Large-scale vortex structures beneath a free-surface in breaking waves are visualised by a characteristic distribution of a surface temperature estimated by infra-red radiation in this paper. Counter-rotating streamwise vortices occurring at wave plunging disrupt a so-called skin layer on the surface to entrain into bulk water underneath the layer. Because of a distinctive difference in temperature between the skin layer and bulk water, the spatial distribution of the surface temperature reflects the intensity of local water mixing on the surface due to the sub-surface stream-wise vortices. Typical length- and time- scales of the stream-wise vortices are determined throughout a surf-zone by utilizing a temperature spectrum and its temporal variation on the basis of the infrared measurements.

    Japanese, Offshore structure made of concrete in ice-covered sea areas is likely to meet an abrasion due to sea ice movement, and needs to be a light weight because of long carriage for its installation. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the thickness of covered concrete with high accuracy. The method to estimate an amount and area of abrasion is shown in considering both local ice pressure distribution and change of water level due to tide. The way to reduce the abrasion is also proposed.

    Japanese, The field measurement of moored ship motions is necessary to decrease troubles in cargo handling. But it was difficult to measure ship motions accurately by using accelerometer.
    In this paper, a 3D PTV algorithm is applied to field observation of moored fishing boat motions. As a result, six-directional ship motions are measured accurately. This observation shows that heaving, rolling and pitching have only one energy peak which is the same period as energy peak of sea wave. Surging, swaying and yawing have two energy peaks, and the energy of peak in long period is higher than the energy of peak in short period. These two peaks are the same period as peaks of sea wave.

    Japanese, Lagrangian fluid motion under breaking waves and settling motion of glass-particles released into a still water are measured by the 3D stereoscopic particle tracking velocimetry for a large domain (3DSPTV-LD). Since the 3DSPTV-LD dose not require to use a laser sheet for illuminating a single flow plane in a measur domain, it has an advantageous feature in engineering use -i.e. high applicability to 3D measurementsfor a large domain on less costs. In coastal engineering, the large-scale turbulence associated with a large-scale eddy structur, such as a separated vortex array around a structure, which futures three-dimensional behav-iora.is one of the crucial factors affecting sediment transport and stability of a structurc.The 3DSPTV-LD enables it to acquire the 3D large-scale Lagrangian motion over a wide area.

    The Multigrid method (MG) was applied to the 2D and 3D simulations for water waves on various topographies, and the efficiency in terms of computation speed was discussed in this paper. Purpose of this paper is to remove the limitation of computational costs for numerical investigations by introducing MG and to evaluate the availability of this numerical method for practical estimations in the actual wave field. The computational time and number of iteration that MG requires is quantitatively compared with the conventional Gauss-Seidel method (GS). It is found that the MG makes the computational time to save 90-95% for the two-dimensional simulation and 65-80 % for the three-dimensional simulation. Further improvement of the scheme is also discussed in this paper.

    The horizontal plate has usually been used for coastal and ocean structures, such as an upper slab of pier and a buffer structure around a bridge pier. And there have been also a lot of research on the use of horizontal plate for submerged breakwater against beach erosion and artificial sea bed for the fish-raising industry. Much effort has so far been devoted to the research of wave fields around a horizontal plate, especially about the impact force to pier and the wave deformation around submerged horizontal plate in terms of the design for the structure. However, the flow pattern around horizontal plate in a wave field has not been explicated. The current study has attempted to numerically analyze some of the wave fields around a horizontal plate. Based on the results of this study, this paper discusses the characteristics of the evolution process of fluid motion and eddy motion around a horizontal plate.

    Japanese, The high mound is sometimes constructed behind a composite breakwater in order to increase the sliding resistance and utilize the mound for an aquacultural purpose. The high mound must be covered by armor units with adequate weight to prevent from scattering by overtopping waves. However, the shallower is the submerged depth of the mound, the heavier become the armor units.
    This study proposed a backward parapet as a countermeasure to reduce weight of armor units. A numerical simulation showed the difference in the velocity field behind the caisson between the backward and forward parapet. With the backward parapet, large-scale eddies were not observed and the velocity on the mound was slower than that of the forward parapet. Furthermore, hydraulic model tests showed that the stable weight was approximately 40% less than that of the forward parapet.

    Development of oil and gas deposits off Sakhalin's northern coast in the sea of Okhotsk are currently under way.An accident involving a spill of crude oil could be expected to affectthe environment and economy of the Hokkaido's Okhotsk coast.If the oil spill occurred in winter season due to the accidents of pipeline, oil tanker and oil rigs, spilled oil would be trapped under the ice floes. If the operation for recovery of spilled oil will be late, spilled oil under the ice floes will be trapped in the ice sheet. In this paper the authors report the behavior of spilled oil trapped under ice sheet and the permeation of spilled oil into ice sheet.

    When the overturning jet of broken wave hits a wall of coastal structure such as a breakwater, the impact force acts on the structure, which often give a great damage to the structure. Although there have been many reports on the impact force, little is known about the quantitative properties of the force and velocity fluctuation in time. In this paper, the plunging jet attacking to the structure was numerically solved by the direct numerical scheme with the high level of accuracy. The correlations between the surface profiles, the direction of fluid velocity and the pressure were also discussed through the investigations of spatial and temporal changes of them.

    The velocity field in a surf zone was experimentally investigated, and the effects of an undertow after wavebreaking on turbulence and wave motion are discussed. In order to reveal the mechanisms of sand suspension overthe bottom, the measurement of velocity distribution of sand transportation was tried by the particle imagevelocimetry.
    It is important to understand the reciprocal relationship between turbulence caused by wave breaking anda cross-shore steady flow, such as a rip current or an undertow, as both of these are closely related to sedimentrolling up and cross-shore sediment transport. On the other hand, high-strain turbulent flows that have threedimensionallycoherent eddy structures with oblique vortexes are generated in a surf zone, and the steady flow isstrongly influenced by the three-dimensional vortexes generated at thistime. This study was designed to investigatethe three-dimensional characteristics of the velocity field and bed erosion in a surf zone, and the effects of undertowon them, of undertow on them, in order to clarify the mechanisms of fluid motion and the cross-shore sedimenttransport in this region.

    Three-dimensional fluid velocity field in a surf zone was experimentally investigated to obtain spatial characteristics of mean flow, such as return current, and turbulence flow caused by wave breaking. It is possible that three-dimensional organized vorticities, generated after breaking, indirectly affect to mean flow and induce three-dimensional steady flow. In two-dimensional wave flume, return current contributes three-dimensionality of fluid motion in a surf zone. The effect of return current to a front bore is also investigated by the particle image velocimetry.

    For the problem of diffraction and radiation of water waves from an arbitrary shapcd body, John's Green function (1950) has been used by several authors. However this John's Green function seems to have a ill behavior when the problem solved numerically through discretization.In this paper we point out that this ill behavior is caused from the definition of delta function which is used by John, and propose a new Green function as a Modified Green function, and check the application of this Green function for wave field.

    The phisical characterristics of breaking wave are investigated in cases of permitting to occur the return current and compulsorily removing it.Breaking wave motion is complicated by variety factors and connecting them.Effective one of these factors is return current which have a large scale effect compair with other factors as viscosity, capiraly stress, and turbulent. Therefore it is very important to investigate how the return current affect to the inner velocity field at breaking.Since the fluid motion is temporally and spacially unsteady in the breaking zoon, the messurement of fluid motion should be carry out in the view of these aspects.In this paper, the inner velocity at breaking is spacially investigated by perticle image velocimeter.Especially, we could understand that the structure of fluid motion is sufferd by the return current.

    Nowadays people enjoy a variety of sports and recreations on frozen surfaces in winter. It is important to estimate the bearing capacity of an infinite ice sheet in order to ensure their safety. In this study, (1) we show in charts and graphs the estimated bearing capacity of ice sheets obtained by the deflection of ice sheets per unit load without breaking the ice; (2) we obtain an equation to calculate the bearing capacity of ice sheets with holes and indicate the results in charts; and (3) we describe in charts the critical traveling speed of loads moving on ice sheet when the bearing capacity is at minimum.

    Japanese, Recently, caisson type structures have been employed as offshore structures in regions of extreme cold. As the liquid, sand or gravel filling proceeds, the caisson freezes and the internal pressure rises. It has previously been verified that this pressure rise, due to an increase of volume caused by ice growth, depends strongly upon the permiability coefficient of the sea ice forming within the sands and gravels. This paper deals with the variation of inner pressure in two kinds of model caissons due to ice growth.

    Mori Nobuhito
    The effects of ocean surface waves as a sea surface boundary process on sea surface wind speed, storm surge, typhoons and the climate system are not adequately addressed physically in many integrated numerical models. In this study, we conducted field observations of the atmosphere-ocean boundary process. Based on the observation results, we re-parameterized the sea surface processes considering waves. Based on the results, we applied the obtained results to numerical models of extreme events such as storm surge, storm surge, and typhoons, as well as global atmosphere and ocean models, and evaluated their impacts. In addition, quantitative estimates of the extreme typhoons, storm surges, and storm waves are made, and the impact of sea-surface processes on the climate system is clarified using a global climate model.

    A nonlinear wave model to estimate wave growth and maximum crest height of focussing wave groups was developed and validated with the experimental results. The shallow water wave focusing theory has been also extended to the one with wave-curent interactions. We found that the presence of opposing current significantly amplifies the focusing waves upto six times of the initial wave height, which depends on a wave spectrum of the initial wave group. We also performed physical and computational experiments to simulate planar focusing wave groups, and found that possible effects of nonlinear energy transfers among crossing waves and flip-through phenomenon caused by the crossing wave impacts to further growth of focussing waves expected in a coastal region.

    We investigated the physical processes of submarine landslides triggered by earthquakes and the resulting tsunami and turbidity currents from the viewpoints of laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations.
    We studied the movement of turbidity currents by solving the layer-averaged momentum equations, continuity equation, and the transport equation of suspended sediment of turbidity currents numerically. The results show that the transition from a landslide to a turbidity current that can travel long distances does not depend on the initial suspended sediment concentration or velocity unless the initial Richardson number is greater than unity.
    We developed numerical simulation models to reproduce tsunamis caused by a submarine landslide and those generated by the superposition of tsunamis generated by a submarine landslide and an active fault.

    We developed computational models to simulate turbulence transitions over waves, formations of thermal boundary layers, and bubble-mediated turbulent flows, which provides physical mechanims contributing to sea-surface drag forces and momentum transfers between atmosphere and ocean. In wind tunnel experiemnts, for the first, we succesfully measured size spectra of the both of sea spray dispersed in atmosphere and air bubbles entrained into sea owing to wind wave breaking, which is related to the sea surface drag and bulk parameters. Contributions of gas dissolution from the entrained bubbles to air-sea gas exchages have been identified through physical and computational experiments. A new model of bubble drag in bubble clouds was also developed in this project, contributing physical understanding of wave-induced aeration process. In ocean observation, features of sea spray, bubble entrainment due to wind wave breaking, and their contributions to heat transfers across sea surfaces.

    Mori Nobuhito
    In recent years, there are many researches on the distribution of large coastal boulders that have moved from the sea and run-up on land. We attempted to estimate the wave forces and related typhoon intensity from the observed distribution of typhoon boulders. In order to estimate the boulder movement by numerical models, we conducted hydraulic model experiments of boulder movement for solitary waves simulating tsunami and irregular waves simulating typhoon waves. In the case of solitary waves, the distance traveled by boulders was larger when the horizontal bed was dried out, and in the case of irregular waves, when the bed was submerged. In addition, a numerical model of the boulder movement phenomenon was developed, and its range of application and model optimization were carried out using the results of hydraulic experiments. Good results were obtained for the distance of boulder movement by solitary wave and irregular wave.

    Organic matter in municipal wastewater can be recovered and concentrated by using direct membrane filtration (DMF) adequately, which leads to net-generation of energy from wastewater. Flat-sheet ceramic membranes are physically and chemically robust, and therefore intensive membrane cleanings that cannot be used with polymeric membranes can be used. In this study, DMF of municipal wastewater by flat-sheet ceramic membranes was investigated. With the aid of intensive physical and chemical cleaning, long-term operations under high membrane fluxes were possible. In addition, switching the feed from of the influent of the primary sedimentation basin to the effluent, very short-period aeration, alternative use of acid and oxidant in chemically enhanced backwash were found to be effective for mitigation of membrane fouling in DMF.

    This study systematizes a wide range of knowledge about the long-term dynamics of meandering, and builds the basic technology for realizing river development that makes full use of natural power and individuality. In particular, focusing on the meandering that determines the plane alignment of river topography, we deeply consider the fundamental mechanism of both short-term fluctuations due to sudden disasters and long-term topographical changes from past to future, and clarified the phenomena. In addition, we analyzed the various impacts on meandering, such as vegetation, presence of estuaries and river structures, diversity of meteorological and topographical geological conditions by theoretical analysis, field surveys, and simplified physical experiments. We also have constructed a computational model that can predict the meandering development transition considering various hydraulic conditions.

    A earthquake tsunami occurs is along the plate boundary but they are co-exists tropical cyclone active regions in the tropical to mid-latitudes. In the case of Okinawa, clear overlapping of tsunami and typhoon induced boulders, and therefore understanding coastal boulder characteristics by tsunamis and tropical cyclone waves is important to know.
    In this study, the distribution of coastal boulders transported from the ocean to land were survey in the Pacific Rim and the Caribbean Ocean. It can evaluate the historic gigantic tsunami and typhoons, potentially. The main objective is to conduct extensive and detailed field investigations on the size, position, physical properties and coastal topography of tropical coast. Based on the results of survey, the distributions and characteristics of boulders in the Pacific Rim and the Caribbean Sea will be summarized for the estimation of magnitude historical of events of tsunami and tropical cyclones.

  • Modifications of drag force and heat transfer across air-water mixing surface layers developed in a violent wave state
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B)
    2015 - 2018
    Yasunori Watanabe
    We found fundamental features of heat and gas transport in aerated ocean surface layers and modifications of surface drag in violent wave field through experimental parameterization of effects of sea sprays and bubbles entrained by wind wave breaking, computational identifications of heat and gas transfer owing to surface replacement under breaking waves, variable features of surface drag depending on transitions of three-dimensional vortex structures over ocean waves. As sea sprays dispersed in wind boundary layers disrupt the organization of the vortices formed over the breaking waves, causing transitions to fully developed turbulent boundary layer and modifications of surface drag. This process also changes the total momentum and heat fluxes between atmosphere and ocean.

    To enable a large-scale river planning considered connections of whole river basin, we developed novel numerical and mathematical tools, and checked their validity by applying them to flood events with different temporal and spatial scales. The tools are composed of flood physics model, flood economic model and flood evacuation model. The flood physics model is the most fundamental part for the river planning, and is divided into 4 components, the large-scale inundation model, inner-outer inundation connected model, flood induced local flow model and tsunami model. Those tools were tested through the applications to past flood events with different scales, and the results were compared with observations. Such calibration process showed that the river planning aided by the proposed new tools are quite useful and practical. Some components of the results were assembled as free-software on an open-source platform to enable everyone in the world can use our result without limitations.

    This study provided a novel mechanical model imposed at a toe of tsunami running up over arbitrary ground conditions. This model has been confirmed to provide appropriate dynamic responses of the run-up waves and to estimate accurate flood areas. The specific research achievements are; (1)improvements of the imaging technique to measure dynamic three-dimensional water surfaces, (2) introduction of a phase-field model to three-dimensional fluid flow computations, (3) validations of the proposed model, and (4) establishing new computational framework for run-up tsunami computations. The proposed model has been applied to the two practical cases of tsunami floods, in urban area and river basin, observed in the 2011 Tohoku earthquake tsunami, which provided distinctive flooding processes depending on the ground conditions.

    This research focused on how the comprehensive damage grading system is established for a long un-reinforced concrete structure along coastlines from the viewpoints of structural performance and functions of disaster prevention. Major damage induced in this type of structure is concrete cracking due to shrinkage of concrete and differential settlement of the structural body; accordingly, crack width, depth and position are categorized and modeled into the structural analysis tool. Moreover, shear transfer behavior between the crack surfaces was experimentally made clear. Finally, structural analysis taking into account the above behavior was carried out to quantify remaining structural performance of damaged structures. In conclusion, new criteria for damage evaluation have been proposed to access the function and performance of cracked un-reinforced concrete structures. These results may contribute to realize more effective and objective maintenance work.

    Projection of typhoons, storm surges and waves were conducted for impact assessment of coastal environment in the future.
    The observed sea level rise was analyzed based on the satellite observation and is 3 mm/year around Japan. Future changes of tropical cyclone activity was analyzed based on CMIP3 and CMIP5 results. The cyclogenesis number will be decreased and the tracks will be shifted to Eastward at the Northwest Pacific Ocean in the future. Risk of storm surge is estimated targeting Ise-wan (Vera) typhoon. The maximum level of storm surge and related uncertainty is discussed. The impact of coastal morphology was examined and shore line change based on standard sea level rise analysis is not sufficient for dynamic behavior of beach morphology.

    A novel numerical simulator to compute local behaviors of sea sprays and entrained bubbles produced by micro ocean wave-breaking processes, based on the stochastic turbulence model, was developed in this study. The model was confirmed to reasonably reproduce heat and gas transfer through advection and diffusions processes via gas-liquid mechanical interactions.
    Physical experiments for measuring the size distributions of sea-sprays and bubbles entrained into sea and the thermal radiation on the breaking-waves faces were performed in a wind wave flume. The momentum and heat transfer on the aerated ocean waves were found to be parametrized by the wind wave Reynolds number.The in-situ measurements for sea-sprays and air bubbles in ocean were also performed for characterizing mechanical contributions of the aerated ocean surface to the wave and current field.

    The dinoflagellate Pyrocystis lunula emits light in response to water motion. The statistical features of the bioluminescence, emitted by P. lunula, owing to dynamic impact pressure and shear stress in oscillatory boundary layer flows over ripped bed were studied with the aim to develop a new imaging technique for measuring fluid stresses, pressure and shear, using plankton that emit light in response to mechanical stimulation. Since the flash intensity correlated with the both impact pressure and fluid strain rate, the instantaneous planar distribution of the fluid stresses can be estimated from video images of the bioluminescence in a fluid region by using the empirical relation determined in this study.

    A weakly nonlinear analysis considering the interference between alternate bar and double-row bar has been developed. Findings show that when the two modes are on the same order, the mode cross interference controls development process of each wave and they cannot grow simultaneously. The development process of bars is strongly influenced of the mode cross interference. Hydraulic experiments and the weakly nonlinear analysis, by setting several hydraulic conditions under which either alternate bars or double-row bars formed, have been conducted to clarify a changing process of bar shape for...

    ・砕波が混入する気泡の砕波乱流への統計的寄与を明らかにするため,気液両相の速度の同時画像計測法を開発し,高解像計測を行った.この同時計測は,2つのデジタルビデオカメラに透過波数の異なる光学フィルターを設置し,蛍光着色した中立粒子と混入気泡にレーザー照射したそれぞれ励起光,反射光を選択的に記録し,Particle imaging velocimetryにより両相の速度分布を算定することで達成できる.この計測法の信頼性は,Ultrasonic Velocity Profilerとの比較によって検証された.気泡の混入が流体の乱流生成に統計的に大きな影響を与えると共に,気相の平均速度は流体の減速位相において流速の50%程度早い速度をもつ.これらの定量的に得られた統計量は砕波乱流のモデル化に使われる.・同一の画像計測法を底面砂の浮遊現象へ適用し,移動床上の浮遊イベント時の砂-流体相互作用の統計評価を行った.流体は底面近傍で上方へ向かう流れが卓越するが,砂はこれに追従せず形成されるリップルのクレスト方向へ移動する傾向がある.すなわち,浮遊砂は流体に対してパッシブな挙動をとらない.また,移動床上では,固定床と比べ境界層の剥離による力学的な影響が小さく,砂の浮遊に伴う流体の撹乱が乱れの生成の主要な役割を果たしていることが明らかになった.また,砂の浮遊にはこの撹乱に伴い強化された渦の再付着が大きくかかわっている.・砕波後のジェットの着水が生成する飛沫及び気泡を再現する数値モデルを開発した.これは,デカルト座標系上で自由水面での力学的境界条件を合理的に満足させ水面流速を適切に近似するものであり,正しく水面,渦そして表面張力による相互作用を評価するものである.このモデルにより,ジェットの着水に伴う二次ジェットの分裂及び局所的なキャビティーを再現し,砕波乱流のソースとなる水面の極近傍の渦生成を評価することが可能となった.

    The aim of this study is to develop a measurement technique for understanding three dimensional turbulence structures in liquid-solid flows. This study is composed of two processes ; one is for improvement of Super Resolution PIV developed by Takehara on time resolution and the other is for improvement of 3-D stereo PIV developed by Watanabe on space resolution.Although the super resolution PIV can measure the flow field with high space resolution by using many particle tracers for visualization, it did not have enough time resolution because we did not have enough capturing system. This pr...

    We developed a simulation method of Ice Scour Event considering probability distributions of various environmental parameters. As a result of calculations made under various conditions, order similar to those in the field observation data -the scour length of several tens of meters to several kilometers and the scour depth of several tens of centimeters to several meters -were found. Furthermore, due to the similarity to (reproducibility of) the comprehensive tendency/property of actual scour events, results that compared favorably with field observation results were obtained. Using the sim...

    In this research project, we obtained the following results :a) The coefficient of shearing force separated form the component of form drag force is obtained. In the case of ice jam, the form drag force can be ignored when l/H (l : length of ice floes, H : ice thickness) is mare than 450 because it is lero than 1% of the shearing force.b) Through the observation at Saroma lagoon, when ice floes are completely trapped in the ice boom, apart of the fluid force acting on the ice floes is transmitted via the ice floes to the ice boom, and the remainder of the fluid force due to arching of the i...

    本年度は、以下の研究を明らかにした。砕波ジェットのモデルとして貯水パイプにためられた水塊を瞬時に落下させ、水塊の水面への衝突に伴う混入気泡径及び発生から分裂さらに浮上にいたる気泡発達過程を評価する新たな解析法を開発した。気泡生成時に放射される音波をハイドロホンにより計測しウェーブレットパケット変換によりその発達過程を通じた気泡径を推算することによって発生する気泡はウェーバー数とフルード数によって5つの典型的なタイプに特徴化することができる。水中音を元にした計測法を多量の気泡が発生する実際の砕波に適用した。砕波フロントの到着直後、着水点の前後及びbubble clouds到達後で完全に異なる周波数帯の気泡音が確認された。砕波の局所的な流体運動に生成気泡の特性が大きく依存することが明らかになった。また、現地観測及び室内において生成微細気泡量の計測が行われ、実海域の気泡量が淡水を用いた室内実験より大きな値を示し、特にsawash zoneで急激な上昇が存在することが明らかになった。界面ステートに対する生成気泡の差異を界面活性剤を淡水中に混入させ室内実験を実行した。これにより安定した界面に発生する気泡は平均で非常に小さく、砕波形態に大きく依存することが明らかになった。上述の実験及び現地観測の結果により、砕波後の気泡の発達過程と気泡径について詳細な情報を得ることができた。これらの結果は、砕波後の気液二相流としての数値気泡モデルの定数を決定し気泡流計算を実行するために有効な情報である。

    砕波帯内の3次元流速場・水粒子軌道の特性について,以下の重要な結論が得られた.1.中立粒子運動の3次元ビデオ解析・砕波時の混入気泡の影響を低減するため中立粒子に蛍光塗料を塗布しブラックライトを照射しビデオカメラを2次元水槽の上面及び側面からから撮影する3次元水粒子追跡実験方法を提案した.・統計解析及びwavelet解析により,砕波時にはほぼ2次元的であった流体運動が砕波過程を通して3次元性が強化され,2次元的な運動エネルギーが徐々にスケールダウンすることが明らかになった.・同様な解析により,水平及び鉛直方向に方向性をもつエネルギーが水深が浅くなるにつれ方向性を失うことが明らかになった.2.3次元Large Eddy Simulation・低レイノルズ数補正を行った高精度数値計算法を適用したLarge Eddy Simulationにより初めて砕波後の3次元流速場の数値的再現に成功した.・砕波ジェット着水直後に水平ローラー渦だけでなく縦渦及び旋回渦が生成されることが明らかになった.・生成された大規模渦整構造は,ボア領域において崩れ,発達した乱流に遷移する.この渦は戻り流れによって沖側に移流され次の砕波の3次元流速構造に大きな影響を与える.・砕波点近傍に移流された渦塊は連続する砕波に影響を与え,流速場及び水面形の3次元化を促進させる.この渦塊は砕波が繰り返されると共に強化されるので,徐々にジェットの着水以前に水面形が3次元化する.・計算領域にマーカーを配置し移流させることによって水粒子を追跡した.砕波フロント背後において斜め後方に軸を持つ渦を発見した.この渦は過去に実験的に気泡追跡によってのみ確認されている斜行渦の軌道と酷似しており,我々の発見した渦は斜行渦であると特定した.3.ビデオ解析による流体運動の3次元性に関する実験及び現地観測・実験水槽及び現地に水中カメラを固定し,混入気泡の映像から流体運動の3次元性を調べた.波の進行と直角方向に不規則な間隔で発生する発達した雲状の気泡が確認された.
