Abstract: The evolution of moderately short, steep two-dimensional gravity?capillary waves, from the onset of the parasitic capillary ripples to a fully developed quasi-steady stage, is studied numerically using a spectrally accurate ...

Abstract: The increased energy dissipation caused by the formation of parasitic capillary wavelets on moderately short, steep gravity?capillary waves is studied numerically. This study focuses on understanding the mechanism leading ...

Abstract: umerical simulation of monochromatic surface waves propagating over a turbulent field is conducted to reveal the mechanism of turbulence production by nonbreaking waves. The numerical model solves the primitive equations ...

Abstract: umerical simulations of monochromatic surface waves freely propagating over an initially quiescent flow field are conducted and found to reveal an array of quasi-streamwise vortices of alternating orientation in a manner ...
