A New Mechanism for Generation of Langmuir Circulations
Andre Basovich, Dylan Wall, Eric Paterson
A new mechanism has been identified that explains the generation of Langmuir circulations. A wind-driven current in the presence of surface waves gives rise to an instability where…

Structure and Persistence of Ship Wakes and the Role of Langmuir-Type Circulations
J. Ryan Somero, Andre Basovich, Eric G. Paterson
Surface ships operating in ocean waves are shown to generate transverse surface currents which persist long after the initial ship-induced currents have decayed. These surface curr…
