Data Source Information: U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
Information Specialist(s): Donya Frank-Gilchrist
Data Type(s): Simulation: Physical (lab experiment), Imagery: Photo
Start Date: 2016-01-06
End Date: 2016-01-07
Equipment Used: Digital Camera
Information to be Derived: Images of sand transport and data files of flow velocities obtained via Particle Image Velocimetry.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: This laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the transport of sand over sand ripples under oscillatory flows, relevant to coastal processes of nearshore hydrodynamics and sediment transport.
Notes: LaVision Particle Image Velocimetry system comprised of 3 Photron FASTCAM SA 1.1 cameras and 2 Litron Nano L Nd:YAG lasers were used to make the measurements.
