Abstract: arge-eddy simulations are made for the canonical Ekman layer problem of a steady wind above a uniformly rotating, constant-density ocean. The focus is on the influence of surface gravity waves: namely, the wave-averaged ...

Abstract: AbstractA large-eddy simulation (LES) model is configured to investigate the effect of the horizontal (northward) component of Earth?s rotation on upper-ocean turbulence. The focus is on the variability of the effect with ...

Abstract: ABSTRACTThe horizontal dispersion of materials with a constant rising speed under the exclusive influence of ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) flows is investigated using both three-dimensional turbulence-resolving ...
