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…
Capillary driven fragmentation of large gas bubbles in turbulence
A. Rivière, D. Ruth, W. Mostert +2
The bubble size distribution below a breaking wave is of paramount interest when quantifying mass exchanges between the atmosphere and oceans. Mass fluxes at the interface are driv…
High-resolution direct simulation of deep water breaking waves: transition to turbulence, bubbles and droplet production
Wouter Mostert, Stéphane Popinet, Luc Deike
[Abridged]We present high-resolution three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of breaking waves solving the two-phase Navier-Stokes equations. We investigate the role of the…
