MIXING AND DISPERSIVE ACTION OF WIND WAVES

Abstract

The mixing and dispersive action of wind induced water waves was studied in a laboratory flume at different water depths, wind speeds, and wave conditions. Measurements of the shape of the dispersion plume were made, and the effects of wave characteristics on the lateral diffusion coefficient were noted. (Author)
