Description |
Impedance based techniques have been used to quantify air entrainment by a stationary breaking wave at the bow of a ship. The present paper describes an impedance based void fraction meter which was developed to make measurements in this high speed, unsteady, multiphase flow, and details of its calibration are provided. In addition, air entrainment data from an experimental simulation of a bow wave are presented. The local, time averaged void fraction was mapped for flow cross sections beneath the plunging wave jet, revealing the location of the clouds of bubbles formed by that jet impacting the incoming water surface. Size distribution functions for the bubbles within the bubble clouds are also presented. The results are correlated with the wave structure described in Waniewski et al. (1997).
