Post-Processing of Laboratory Experimental Data on Island Wakes and Numerical Comparison with Laboratory Experimental Data
Abstract
The long-term goal of the project is to understand generation and evolution of vorticities generated in the island wakes and their impacts the marine environment. The objectives of the project are: 1) Continue the participation of the post-processing data collected in a series laboratory experiments. A laboratory experimental project "Three Dimensional Vortex Street Instability at High Reynolds Number around IslandS" (TIRIS), funded by the 6th European Commission (EC) Framework Program Hydralab III, was conducted on the largest rotating tank in the world, the Coriolis Platform (13m diameter), located at Laboratoire des Ecoulements G?ophysiques et Industriels (LEGI) in Grenoble, France, in November, 2008. The PI has participated in the project as co-PI. 2) Make use of the laboratory experimental data to evaluate the Regional Oceanic Model System ROMS performance. A series of numerical simulations using the ROMS based on the laboratory experimental parameters will be generated. The evaluation will be directly applied to the improvement of the ROMS. 3) Analyze the laboratory experimental data and the numerical modeling solutions, which will lead to systematic understanding the eddy generation and evolution in the island wake.
