In this paper results of laboratory studies of damping of gravity-capillary waves due to emulsified oil films (EOF) are presented and compared to crude oil films (COF). A laboratory method based on measuring the damping coefficient and the length of parametrically generated gravity-capillary waves is applied to a 50% EOF and to crude oil films. Measurements of wave damping were carried out in a range of surface wave lengths, corresponding to Bragg waves of X- to Ka-band radars. The obtained dependences of wave damping coefficient on EOF thickness have demonstrated the existence of a damping maximum at thicknesses of about 1–2 mm, and the maximum is approximately twice the one for COF, the damping maximum for EOF is located at larger film thicknesses than for COF. Theoretical calculations of wave damping have been performed and viscoelastic parameters of EOF have been estimated from comparison between theory and experiment.
