Objective
LASIF ( Large Air-Sea Interaction Facility) is composed of a 40 m long, 1 m deep and 2.6 m wide water tank and an air-recirculating tunnel of 1.5 m height and 3.2 width . An helicoïdal wind fan can generate winds up to 14 m/s in the test section. The wind tunnel was designed to obtain a low-turbulence air flow of constant velocity at the entrance of the test section and a constant-flux air boundary layer over the water surface. The facility is equipped with a submerged wavemaker to generate regular or random waves simultaneously with a turbulent boundary layer air flow above. Two water pumps can create following or opposite currents up to 10 cm/s. The facility is equipped with the following instrumentation:-capacitance wave gauges to measure water surface displacements, -hot wire anemometers to measure velocity in the air surface boundary layer,-hot film velocimeters to determine the water flow velocity field,-thermistances and cold wire temperature sensors,-miniature air pressure probes to measure static pressure fluctuations,-onelaser wave slope probe-one two-component wave slope imaging system of 1 m2 size to investigate 3D wave patterns and spatio-temporal wave field evolution,-video cameras for wave profile and bubble visualization,-one Particle Image Velocimeter (under development),-one Ku-band (13.5 GHz) scatterometer,-a user-friendly PC-based software for data acquisition and time series analysis (Labview and Matlab).
LASIF is particularly well-designed to investigate:
- Wind wave generation and amplification;
- Momentum transfer at the air-sea interface;
- Structure of the turbulent air and water flows- Nonlinear evolution of wind and mechanically-generated waves (3-D waves, freak waves)- Wave-wave interactions;
- Wave-current interactions;
- Wave-turbulence interactions;
- Wave breaking and associated two-phase flow phenomena;
- Gas transfer at the water surface;
- Electromagnetic wave backscattering at the water surfaceIndustrial studies can also be performed, as:
- Interaction between wind-waves and structures (combined impact of waves, air and water flows;
)- Naval and coastal engineering.
