Profiles of the mean velocity have been analyzed in the stream streaking from the region of rotating standard six-blade disc turbine impeller. The profiles were obtained experimentally using a hot film thermoanemometer probe. The results of the analysis is the determination of the effect of relative size of the impeller and vessel and the kinematic viscosity of the charge on three parameters of the axial profile of the mean velocity in the examined stream. No significant change of the parameter of width of the examined stream and the momentum flux in the stream has been found in the range of parameters d/D ##m <0.25; 0.50> and the Reynolds number for mixing ReM ##m <2.90 . 101; 1 . 105>. However, a significant influence has been found of ReM (at negligible effect of d/D) on the size of the hypothetical source of motion - the radius of the tangential cylindrical jet - a. The proposed phenomenological model of the turbulent stream in region of turbine impeller has been found adequate for values of ReM exceeding 1.0 . 103.

Abstract. The current primary radar method for determination of atmospheric momentum fluxes relies on multiple beam studies, usually using oppositely directed coplanar beams. Generally VHF and MF radars are used, and meteor radars have never been successfully employed. In this paper we introduce a new procedure that can be used for determination of gravity wave fluxes down to time scales of 2-3h, using the SKiYMET meteor radars. The method avoids the need for beam forming, and allows simultaneous determination of the three components of the wind averaged over the radar volume, as well as the variance and flux components , where refers to the fluctuating eastward wind, refers to the fluctuating northward wind, and refers to the fluctuating vertical wind. Data from radars in New Mexico and Resolute Bay are used to illustrate the data quality, and demonstrate theoretically expected seasonal forcing. Keywords. Meteorology and atmospheric dynamics (Middle atmosphere dynamics; Waves and tides; Climatology)

Abstract A turbulent airflow with a centerline velocity of 4 m s−1 above 2.5-Hz mechanically generated gravity waves of different amplitudes has been studied in experiments using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. Direct measurements of the instantaneous flow velocity fields above a curvilinear interface demonstrating flow separation are presented. Because the airflow above the wavy water surface is turbulent and nonstationary, the individual vector fields are conditionally averaged sampled on the phase of the water elevation. The flow patterns of the phase-averaged fields are relatively smooth. Because the averaged flow does not show any strongly nonlinear effects, the quasi-linear approximation can be used. The parameters obtained by the flow averaging are compared with the theoretical results obtained within the theoretical quasi-linear model of a turbulent boundary layer above the wavy water surface. The wave-induced pressure disturbances in the airflow are calculated using the retrieved statistical ensemble of wind flow velocities. The energy flux from the wind to waves and the wind–wave interaction parameter are estimated using the obtained wave-induced pressure disturbances. The estimated values of the wind–wave interaction parameter are in a good agreement with the theory.

&lt;p&gt;It is important to measure the momentum flux across the air&amp;#8211;water interface in the droplet- and bubble-laden turbulent flow at extremely high-wind speeds. Generally, the momentum flux is measured by a profile method, eddy correlation method, or momentum budget (balance) method at normal wind speeds. We assessed the usage of three measurement method at extremely high wind speeds in three wind-wave tanks, Kyoto, Kindai, and Kyushu Universities, JAPAN. Here, the Kyoto tank is 15 m long, 0.8 m wide, 0.8 m high and the maximum wind speed is 68 m/s. The Kyushu tank is 64 m long and the max. speed is 40 m/s. Moreover, we will show the preliminary results for the effects of the fetch on the momentum flux.&lt;/p&gt;
