  Flow around Surface-Mounted Permeable Cubes on Solid Surfaces
  Author(s): Hermione*
  
  A wind tunnel experiment was administered to characterize the flow surrounding rectangular prisms of varying permeability, each set mounted on a stationary plane-bed surface and subsequently on an erodible bed. Laser-Doppler anemometer measurements of the horizontal and vertical velocity components were obtained during a grid that included a neighbourhood adjacent to the windward face, enveloped the free end of the shape, and extended ≈6.5 element heights downwind of the rear wall. From these component measurements, the entire velocity (Tuw), turbulence intensity (TI), Reynold Stress (RS) and therefore the turbulence K.E. (TKE) were calculated throughout the sampling array. As compared to an impermeable same-sized cube, the near-surface TKE and RS were substantially reduced within the wake flow behind the permeable elements. Within the plane-bed experiments, TI generally increas.. Read More»
