Resumen
An experimental investigation is described of the velocity field in a steady, spilling-type breaker, generated on a steady current by a submerged hydrofoil. Velocities have been measured with a laser-doppler system, and analysed with respect to mean and rms-values as well as Reynolds stresses. The results indicate that the turbulent flow field downstream of the initiation of the separation at the surface resembles that in a turbulent wake.
