Large Eddy Simulation of Complex Shear Flows with Non- Vertical, Non-Uniform Shear in the Stably Stratified Ocean

这个项目是用LES研究水平剪切对湍流混合的影响。前人关于水平剪切的DNS结果将推广到高雷诺数海洋情况。子网格比例模型将根据实验室数据进行验证，并将测试一种新的分析建模方法。LES方法还将应用于哈罗海峡的潮辐合带。这项研究将增强我们对海洋混合的理解。

The prior DNS results about horizontal shear will be generalized to high-Reynolds number oceanic case. The sub-grid scale model will be validated against laboratory data, and a new analytical modeling approach will be tested. The LES approach will also be applied to the tidal convergence zone in the Haro Strait. The research would enhance our understanding of oceanic mixing.
