* Introduction [#yc943917]

An accurate estimation of gas transfer velocity at the air-sea interface is very important to understand environmental mechanisms of the earth. A wind dependent gas transfer model by Liss and Merlivat model has widely used the last decade. The gas transfer velocity of the Liss and Merlivat model increases rapidly when the wind speed exceeds 13m/s. This rapid increase of gas transfer velocity is explained by several reasons such as enhancements of wind and breaking wave induced turbulence, breaking wave induced air bubbles, and sea spray. However, quantitative roles and detail mechanisms of the enhancement are not well known due to the lack of detail measurements. To understand the gas transfer enhancement in high wind speed region, the bubble mediate gas transfer is one of important phenomenon.
Ocean surface gravity wave propagation from offshore to shoreline is often regarded as a single phase flow using potential flow theories or the Navier-Stokes equation. Generally, the single phase flow approach to the ocean wave is successful for simulating wave transformation in the coastal area. However, waves steepen and break due to the bottom bathymetric effects in the near shore. The wave breaking create dense plumes of bubbles, and dissipates energy and momentum. An accurate estimate of bubble size and population distributions in the surf zone is important for understanding two-phase flow characteristics, solving engineering problems and environmental mechanisms of the coastal area. Recent photographic studies have illustrated the disintegration of entrapped air cavities divided into bubbles. However, there are unexplained aspects of the problem, such as enhanced bubble populations in salt rather than freshwater scale effects of void and bubble size distribution in the laboratory experiments, and the relation between void fraction and turbulence.
