Effect of Surface Waves on Mixed Layer Structure

小行星9402979 本研究旨在更好地了解上层海洋中表面波和湍流的联合效应。 这项研究的基本原理是基于最近的实验， 的 海洋湍流 混合 层 的特点是一个重要的朗缪尔环流组成部分，这是由表面波的效果区分。 该研究将大涡模拟（LES）应用于朗缪尔环流的Craik-Leibovich理论，并将结果与实验数据进行比较。 ***

9402979 Leibovich This study seeks to acquire a better understanding of joint effects of surface waves and turbulence in the upper ocean. The rationale for the research is based on recent experiments which showed that turbulence in the oceanic mixed layer is characterized by an important Langmuir circulation component, which is distinguished by the effect of surface waves. The study will apply large eddy simulation (LES) to the Craik-Leibovich theory of Langmuir circulation and the results will be compared with experimental data. ***
