Large-eddy Simulation of the Inner Continental Shelf Under the Combined Effects of Surface Temperature Fluxes, Tidal Currents and Langmuir Circulation

In a shallow shelf region, turbulent motion can have a major effect on coastal processes including ecosystem functioning, surface gas exchange and sediment resuspension. Many factors contribute to such turbulence; wind and wave forcing, buoyancy induced by surface heat fluxes and tidal forcing all p...
