Detailed investigation of bag-breakup process in the context of spray of droplets generation within wind-wave interaction

The main mechanism responsible for the generation of spume droplets in marine atmospheric boundary layer was investigated at the experiments carried out at the high-speed wind-wave flume of IAP RAS.

Summary:The main mechanism responsible for the generation of spume droplets in marine atmospheric boundary layer was investigated at the experiments carried out at the high-speed wind-wave flume of IAP RAS. Strong wind tears off water from the crest of the waves during bag breakup fragmentation of small-scale disturbances that arise at the air-water interface. Separate bag-breakup event forced to occur in a dried high-speed wind-wave flume was investigated qualitatively and quantitatively using multiperspective shadowgraph high-speed video recording.
