Breaking waves produce numbers of vortices through a jet splashing process and also entrain many air bubbles, forming complicated air-water two-phase turbulent flow field in a surf zone. In this research, a simultaneous velocity measurement technique of water and bubble flows in breaking waves is developed for characterizing water-bubble interactions within vortices in a surf zone. The bubbles and neutral buoyant tracers are separately recorded by two different digital video cameras on the basis of an optical filtering technique. It is found that bubble motion does not follow water flow in a vortex, and mean bubble velocity is always higher than water velocity in breaking waves. Bubble-induced turbulent energy is estimated to be less than 10% of total turbulent energy.
