Abstract:
Weathered oil in the surf-zone after an oil spill may mix with suspended sediments to form sand and oil agglomerates (SOA). Sand and oil agglomerates may form in mats on the scale of tens of meters (m), and may break apart into pieces between 1 and 10 centimeters (cm) in diameter. These more mobile pieces are susceptible to alongshore and cross-shore transport, and lead to beach re-oiling on the time scale of months to years following a spill. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted experiments March 10 - 13, 2014, to expand the available data on sand and oil agglomerate motion; test shear stress based incipient motion parameterizations in a controlled, laboratory setting; and directly observe SOA exhumation and burial processes. Artificial sand and oil agglomerates (aSOA) were created and deployed in a small-oscillatory flow tunnel in two sets of experiments, during which, video and velocity data were obtained. The first experiment, which was set up to help researchers investigate incipient motion, used with an immobile, rough bottom (referred to as false-floor) and the second–testing seafloor interactions–utilized with a coarse grain sand bottom (movable sand bed). Detailed information regarding the creation of the aSOA can be found in Dalyander et al. (2015). More information about the USGS laboratory experiment conducted in collaboration with the Naval Research Laboratory can be found in the associated Open File Report (OFR Number Unknown).
Purpose:
This dataset presents observations of along-tank flow velocity at times surrounding incipient motion and to the shear stress associated with the given aSOA, for the same time period, derived from the along-tank flow velocity and individual aSOA characteristics of diameter and density. Along-tank flow velocities were collected by a single Vectrino acoustic Doppler profiler during a 2014 USGS small-oscillatory flow tunnel experiment conducted at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. The information contained within the text files is needed to capture flow velocity at time of incipient motion, under ideal conditions, and to test shear stress-based incipient motion parameterizations. This dataset contains tabular digital data, in text files, of flow velocities in a small-oscillatory flow tunnel from the false-floor experiment, and shear stress derived from observed flow velocity. Each text file name ends with a three-character alpha-numeric aSOA identifier (aSOA ID). The first character (a number) refers to the aSOA’s size class, the second character (a letter) refers to the shape, and the third character (a number) refers to the unique aSOA of a given size class and shape (see Dalyander et al. (2015)). Videos of tank observations, which provide additional information about aSOA incipient motion, were also collected during each experiment (see 2017-309_DD_FF_video.zip) and are included in this data release).
Supplemental_Information:
This dataset (2017_309_DD_FF_velocity_stress.zip) contains tabular digital data of flow velocity and shear stress collected during small-oscillatory flow tunnel laboratory experiments at the Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Center, Stennis Mississippi. To ensure that SPCMSC data management protocols were followed, this survey was retroactively assigned a USGS field activity number (FAN), 2017-309-DD. Additional survey and data details are available at http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2017-309-DD.

Process_Description:
In March, 2014, experiments were conducted at NRL’s Sediment Dynamics Laboratory, located in Stennis, MS. Artificial sand-oil agglomerates were deployed in the small-oscillatory flow tunnel with a cross-sectional area of 25 cm by 25 cm, a test bed length of 2-m, and a 35-cm deep sediment well. Oscillating currents (simulating bottom velocities generated by waves) were driven in the tank by a flywheel with variable frequencies (20-90 rpm) and stroke lengths (22, 33, or 44 cm). For all experiments, the oscillatory current had a slight asymmetry resulting in preferential transport downstream (toward the sediment trap) in the tank. Two high-definition Canon 7D DSLR cameras were mounted outside of the tank to record movement, each with a unique, separate, field of view. Camera A was outfitted with an 18-55 mm zoom lens at a 29 mm focal length and Camera B used an 18 mm fisheye lens. The tank was also equipped with a Vectrino acoustic velocity profiler, mounted centrally. Additional information on the characteristics and design of the flow tunnel can be found in Calantoni and others (2013).

Process_Description:
The onset of incipient motion was precisely measured with a Bed LAser Surface Tracking (BLAST) System. Two 520 nm, 75-degree fan beam, continuous-wave lasers were mounted above the tank and projected a 3-mm wide and 1-m long laser line along the tank floor, parallel to the flow direction. The aSOAs were placed to intersect the laser lines so that the two Canon 7D DSLR cameras captured 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second of the laser line projected on to the aSOAs and the bed floor.

Process_Description:
Velocities were logged by a Vectrino acoustic Doppler profiler mounted centrally within the tank. Velocity recording was manually started after the beginning of the video recording. The start of the velocity record was indicated in the video by a single blink of a red LED indicator light. 3D velocity was logged by the Vectrino software package and saved as raw binary files with file extension “.ntk”. The Vectrino acoustic velocity profiler measured 3D water velocity (m/s) of a 4 cm profile below the instrument and the distance from the instrument to the sand bed (m), using coherent Doppler processing at a frequency of 100 Hz.

Process_Description:
Raw Vectrino data were processed in MATLAB 2015b by a script called “VectrinoII_ProcessData.m” (2011) (NRL script), which extracted time, depth information, and 3D velocity (m/s) from raw data files. Next, velocities were processed iteratively to remove spikes in the data.
First, velocities were passed through a MATLAB built-in one dimensional smoothing filter (filter.m) with a window size of ten.
Second, the difference was taken between the raw and smoothed time series and the standard deviation of that difference was calculated.
Third, points with a difference greater than three times the standard deviation were identified, and replaced with the smoothed signal value at the same time.
The first, second, and third, steps were then repeated three times, with the previously de-spiked signal replacing the input each time, which produced final, quality controlled, de-spiked and smoothed de-spiked time series of velocities.
De-spiked and smoothed de-spiked records of 3D velocity data, time, and depth information were re-saved in MATLAB readable ‘.mat’ files. De-spiked and smoothed de-spiked velocity data were treated with an additional quality control step.
A measure of signal quality, called Correlation, was recorded by the Vectrino profiler along with the raw data. Correlation is the measure of the data correlation as returned by each of the three acoustic beams of the profiler.
Time points with correlation less than 70% are replaced in the record with non-number (NaN) values.
Quality controlled records of de-spiked and smoothed de-spiked velocity were saved in MATLAB readable ‘.mat’ files.

Process_Description:
Time differences between video and corresponding velocity record is established by identifying the exact frame in which the Vectrino red LED indicator light blinks in the camera view. The time (in seconds) at which the Vectrino begins recording in the video record is calculated as the frame number divided by the video framerate in frames per second. The video time record is then synced to the Vectrino time to create a consistent time record for both records.

Process_Description:
Processed flow velocity was generated by extracting the along-tank component of flow velocity from the processed Vectrino 3-dimensional flow record. Free stream velocity is taken as the 3rd bin (approximately 3mm). Only velocity data 30 seconds prior to and 12 seconds proceeding incipient motion were presented. The 42 second window is a maximum. Incipient motion very close to the beginning or end of the experiment segment resulted in shorter records.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Shear stress input was generated by calculating shear stress based on shear stress parameterization presented in Soulsby, 1997, using aSOA diameter, flow velocity at time of incipient motion, and an empirical value for orbital excursion amplitude. The empirical value for orbital excursion amplitude was calculated for each experiment record from the de-spiked along-tank velocity. The negative-to-positive zero crossings were identified and the times of these upward zero-crossings were recorded. A matrix of upward zero-crossings was created to identify individual waves. Given flow velocity and time between upward zero-crossings, displacements were calculated. Orbital excursion amplitude is defined as one quarter of this displacement. The orbital excursion amplitude used in the stress calculation is the median value for a given record, excluding the first and last sixty seconds to avoid errors introduced by experiment ramp up and ramp down.
