Jeong 08/06/2014 +HDGRIWKHDepartment *UDGXDWH3URJUDP 'DWH SCOUR IN REGIONS OF FLOW SEPARATION WITH FREE-SURFACE EFFECTS A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Purdue University by John F. Newton In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2014 Purdue University West Lafayette, Indiana ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my appreciation to my advisor Professor Dennis A. Lyn for his excellent editorial and technical insights and willingness to discuss questions whenever I had them, yet keeping his distance and allowing me to determine the course of my research. Professor Lyn executes well the art of advisorship and allows his students to take ownership of their work. Numerous professors and students have contributed to my dissertation indirectly with their friendship and advice, which has made my graduate studies a pleasurable experience. I would like to acknowledge them and my committee member’s for their positive influence and guidance, and Josh Deno for his early contributions to the flow regime study. Pursuing a Ph.D. is not an individual act but influences those closest to the student, whether by compulsion or freewill. Those closest to me, my wife and children, have willingly sacrificed on my behalf while I engaged in course work and research. They expected nothing in return, knowing that they would receive no compensation, but acted out of love so that I could do something that I enjoy. I am indebted to my children and to my wife, Melissa. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES............................................................................................................................ vi LIST OF FIGURES .........................................................................................................................vii LIST OF SYMBOLS ........................................................................................................................ xi ABSTRACT.............. ..................................................................................................................... xvii CHAPTER 1.
