Statistical characteristics of turbulence in combined wave-current boundary layer flows
Turbulence characteristics are essential for understanding the nature of wave-current interaction. However, little has been known about the statistical properties of turbulence in wave-current flows. This study describes an experimental study on a thorough understanding of turbulence characteristics. Instantaneous velocity components were measured using a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. Results show that the probability density function of Turbulence Kinetic Energy (TKE) follows a lognormal distribution. The probability density functions of streamwise and vertical velocity fluctuations follow Gaussian distributions. A linear relationship was observed between the Reynolds shear stress and TKE. A semi-empirical formula was developed between the changes of TKE induced by wave-current interaction and the Ursell number. These results can be useful for further developments of turbulence modelling under the effects of wave-current interaction.
