Abstract
We report an experimental and numerical study of turbulent fluid motion in a free surface. The flow is realized experimentally on the surface of a tank filled with water stirred by a vertically oscillating grid positioned well below the surface. Particles floating on the surface are used to visualize the flow. The effect of surface waves appears to be negligible. The flow is unconventional in that it is confined to two dimensions but does not have squared vorticity as a conservation law, that it is not divergence free and that it inherits scaling features of the mean square velocity differences S2(R) and the vorticity fluctuations Omega(R) from the bulk 3-d turbulence.
