Identifier 2016-371-DD
Data provider U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
Purpose Investigating sand transport under oscillatory flows.
Location Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, United States of America
Summary 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.
Info derived Images of sand transport and data files of flow velocities obtained via Particle Image Velocimetry.
Comments 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.
