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

本研究旨在探讨不同尺度的风生波的群结构和破碎在气-水质量、动量和能量交换中的重要性。 该项目预计将产生新的理解，在该地区的空气-水交换使用一种创新的方法，基于直接数值模拟的风在不稳定的水波群，为广泛的风速和波陡条件。 该项目的预期成果包括产生未解决的物理学和空气-水交换率的新参数化的基础知识。这将为天气、内陆和海洋水道以及众多工业流程提供更准确、更全面的预测模型。

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.
