Residual-based Variational Multiscale LES with Wall-modeling for Oceanic Boundary Layers in Shallow Water

Large-eddy simulation (LES) of wind and wave forced oceanic turbulent boundary layers is performed using the residual-based variational multiscale method (RBVMS) and near-wall modeling. Wind and surface gravity wave forcing generates Langmuir turbulence characterized by Langmuir circulation (LC) wit...
