Free-Surface Flows

Quasi-steady breakers and hydraulic jumps, spilling breakers and incipient and fully-evolved breaking due to steady flow past a submerged body are classes of free-surface flows currently under study.

Applications. Breaking waves in the deep ocean, associated with heat and mass transfer processes, unsteady hydraulic jumps occurring downstream of large-scale hydraulic gates and related components, and quasi-stationary standing waves generated downstream of ____ or tethered bodies subjected to a steady current.
