Numerical Investigation of the Wave Boundary Layer over a Rippled Bed with Application to Sediment Transport

99-10883 Scotti在这个项目中，PI将调查波浪边界层（WBL）内沉积物的传输。 数值解的Navier-Stokes方程将被应用到WBL的动态所产生的振荡流引起的表面重力波在底部。 将考虑平底和波纹底（后者模拟沙纹）。 对于小到中等雷诺数，将直接求解方程，而对于较大雷诺数，将使用大涡模拟方法。

99-10883ScottiIn this project, the PIs will investigate the transport of sediments within the wave boundary layer (WBL). A numerical solution to the Navier-Stokes equations will be applied to the dynamics of the WBL generated by oscillating currents induced by surface gravity waves over the bottom. Both flat and corrugated bottoms will be considered (the latter to simulate sand ripples). For small to intermediate Reynolds number, the equations will be solved directly, while for larger Reynolds numbers, a Large Eddy Simulation approach will be used.
