Mechanisms of Fluid-Mud Interactions Under Waves

Abstract

The goals of this project are to investigate the mechanisms for wave dissipation in the presence of bottom mud. These mechanisms are being examined via field measurements in the Gulf of Mexico, laboratory experiments of waves over a mud bottom, and numerical and theoretical analyses. Implementation of these various damping mechanisms into numerical models provides the ability to not only predict wave behavior over mud, but also to infer from the sea surface the nature of the bottom material.
