Abstract
When a relatively large side cavity zone is installed in an open channel, the influence of separated vortices and recirculation flow generated at the zone is sometimes exerted to the main flow as water surface oscillation. The mechanism of the oscillation is still not clearly understood because of the complexity of the phenomena. In this research, by using a stereoscopic surface measurement system developed by the authors, time-dependent water surface configurations are successfully measured at a sampling rate of 12Hz, from which general features of the surface oscillation is made clear for a wide range of the Froude number. We then applied the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method to the measured data and found out that the surface oscillation can be clearly decomposed into a Seiche-like major mode and sub-modes with smaller wavelengths.
