Large Eddy Simulation of Ocean Boundary Layer Entrainment
Abstract
Traditional approaches to modeling the marine boundary layer have concentrated on processes occurring near the sea-air interface. While this is appropriate and has been successful to a large degree, it has not produced a model that is accurate to the degree required for many Navy applications. We believe that the study of the dynamics of the wave boundary layer must be expanded to include those at the top of the marine boundary layer. Our long-term goal is to understand the interaction between the entrainment process and the wave boundary layer.
