【 摘 要 】

This paper first gives a brief review of the existing research works on the laws governing the dissipation of rave energy by turbulence. Starting from the general theory of turbulent motion and the writer's suggestion in regard to the mixing length of water particles in two-dimensional flow and making use of the principle of dimensional analysis and the trochidal rave theory, a formula has been derived to compute the mean dissipation per unit time and per unit horizontal area of wave energy due to turbulence. The formula takes the horizontal and vertical gradients of both the horizontal and vertical velocity fields into consideration. Coefficient in the formula has been determined through laboratory experiments.
