Growth rate and energy dissipation in wind-forced breaking waves
Nicolò Scapin, Jiarong Wu, J. Thomas Farrar +3
We investigate the energy growth and dissipation of wind-forced breaking waves at high wind speed using direct numerical simulations of the coupled air-water Navier-Stokes equation…
Turbulence and energy dissipation from wave breaking
Jiarong Wu, Stéphane Popinet, Bertrand Chapron +2
Wave breaking is a critical process in the upper ocean: an energy sink for the surface wave field and a source for turbulence in the ocean surface boundary layer. We apply a novel…
Momentum fluxes in wind-forced breaking waves
Nicolò Scapin, Jiarong Wu, J. Thomas Farrar +3
We investigate the momentum fluxes between a turbulent air boundary layer and a growing-breaking wave field by solving the air-water two-phase Navier-Stokes equations through direc…
Breaking wave field statistics with a multilayer model
Jiarong Wu, Stéphane Popinet, Luc Deike
The statistics of breaking wave fields is characterised within a novel multi-layer framework, which generalises the single-layer Saint-Venant system into a multi-layer and non-hydr…
Revisiting wind wave growth with fully-coupled direct numerical simulations
Jiarong Wu, Stéphane Popinet, Luc Deike
We investigate wind wave growth by direct numerical simulations solving for the two phase Navier-Stokes equations. We consider ratio of the wave speed to wind friction velocity…
