OUR TOOLBOX

WIND FLUME FACILITY

5 meters long water tunnel with a closed loop wind tunnel installed at the top. The airflow velocity and temperature are controled. Water current and mechanical waves can be incorporated as well. Click to read more on the facility at the former lab's website.

LARGE WAVE TANK

18 meters long tank with a towing system. The wave maker consists of 4 flap type independent modules in a row that can be controlled seperatly. Click to read more on this facility at the former lab's website.

The 68th Annual Meeting of the

Israel Physical Society (IPS)

April 3, 2023

Expo, Tel-Aviv

Very proud of Oshrat for presenting her Ph.D. research for the first time. Oshrat talked about the energy budget of shear flow disturbances.

OUR LAB RENO IS DONE!

We are advancing with the experimental research!

April, 2023

Special thanks to Dekel, our lab Engineer, for managing the entire renovation! It took much effort and patience but it was worth it; the lab now provides an inviting and convenient environment for conducting important research work.

Coming soon: Waves in Sea Evniroment meeting

May 7th-10th, 2023

Princeton, USA

Meital will discuss the "Turbulent boundary layer over young wind waves in the presence of water current." This study is under review and was performed in collaboration with Krishanu Kumar and Lev Shemer.

Coming soon: Waves in Sea Evniroment meeting

May 7th-10th, 2023

Princeton, USA

Oshrat will discuss "The energetic classification of the coupled viscous shear flow instability." She will reveal the roots of the mysterious second unstable mode reported in the literature 15 years ago...
