This project aims to predict the behaviour of bubble clouds in ocean waves. Bubble clouds are used in Europe to shield marine mammals from the dangerous noise of offshore wind-turbine construction, but would be dispersed by Australia's ocean swell and turbulence; and unlike in Europe, Australia's offshore-wind sites are frequented by endangered whales. Bubble clouds from breaking waves may also dissolve up to third of humanity's carbon in the ocean. Experiments and coordinated numerical simulations would predict the displacement and dispersion of bubbles in oceanic conditions. Experiments and simulations would then predict the acoustic behaviour of bubble clouds. This outcome would benefit new offshore-wind industries and climate science.

该项目旨在预测海浪中气泡云的行为。欧洲使用气泡云来保护海洋哺乳动物免受海上风涡轮建筑的危险噪音，但会被澳大利亚的海洋膨胀和湍流所散布。与欧洲不同，澳大利亚的海上风景被濒危鲸鱼经常光顾。破坏波的气泡云也可能溶解到海洋中人类碳的三分之一。实验和协调的数值模拟将预测海洋条件下气泡的位移和分散。然后，实验和模拟将预测气泡云的声学行为。这种结果将使新的离岸行业和气候科学受益。
