Role of modulating water wave groups in enhancing air-water fluxes.

该项目旨在研究不同尺度的风浪在空气-水质量、动量和能量交换中的群结构和破碎的重要性。该项目希望在空气-水交换领域产生新的认识，使用一种创新的方法，该方法基于在大范围风速和波浪陡度条件下对非定常水波群的风进行直接数值模拟。

This project aims to investigate the importance of the group structure and breaking of wind-generated waves of various scales in the air-water exchange of mass, momentum and energy. This project expects to generate new understanding in the area of air-water exchanges using an innovative approach based on direct numerical simulation of wind over unsteady water wave groups for a wide range of wind speed and wave steepness conditions. Expected outcomes of this project include generating fundamental knowledge of the unresolved physics and new parameterisations for air-water exchange rates. This will deliver more accurate and more comprehensive forecast models for weather, inland and ocean waterways, and numerous industrial processes.
