“…Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques, specifically cross-correlation, have been used extensively for the tracking of features in FS-SS experiments. Other alternatives, such as Fourier Demodulation (Diaz et al, 2022;Jain, 2020;Metzmacher et al, 2022;Shimazaki et al, 2022;Wildeman, 2018) have also been performed on FS-SS experiments. However, the displacement fields produce unreliable data for steep surface gradients (Jain, 2020).…”

The free surface at an air-water interface can provide information regarding bathymetric complexities, as well as the subsurface flow. We present a comparison of the performance of two recent advances in light-based optical techniques for free surface measurements, Total Internal Reflection-Deflectometry and Moon-Glade Background Oriented Schlieren, with the more established method of Free-Surface Synthetic Schlieren. We make use of an optical flow algorithm over the more traditional Digital Image Correlation, in order to obtain higher spatial resolution data across the imaged free surface domain. The Optical flow algorithm presents additional benefits, such as computational efficiency and robustness in capturing large displacements and straining of tracked features. The three optical techniques are assembled in synchronization to image two free surface conditions: (1) a free surface being impinged upon by an underlying turbulent, free-shear flow and (2) a random and irregular wave field induced by a free jet. Using the high-resolution measurements, we provide insight on the emergence of multiple free surface dynamics for a turbulent free surface and dissect the local hydrodynamics of the free surface for several wave forcings. We present a comprehensive discussion on the benefits and drawbacks of each technique, including suggestions on the suitability of each technique for several experimental constraints.
