Bubble Measurements in Breaking-Wave Generated Bubble Plumes During the LUMINY Wind-Wave Experiment
bookPart
Affordable, high quality video equipment has allowed the development of bubble measurement systems (BMS). A multi-camera BMS was developed and deployed to observe wind-wave generated bubble plumes in the IRPHE windwave tunnel during the LUMINY wind-wave experiment. The BMS visualized plume dynamics and large (200 > r > 5000) bubble populations within the bubble plumes. Large variability was observed between bubble plumes in terms of density, dynamics, size, and penetration depth. To avoid losing information through averaging, a plume-type classification scheme was developed and plume type probabilities measured at different fetches. Populations of different plume types were analyzed and were multimodal.
