Influence of the breaking wind waves on the structure of the near-surface turbulent layer

Applied hydromechanics, Vol. 5 (77) ¹ 3, (2003) p.65-71
The dynamics of near-surface turbulent layer and influence of the breaking wind waves on it's structure is considered. In the presented model the sources of turbulence are the wind stress and the random splashes of turbulence. In contrast to the previous models the wave-breaking layer is considered. Turbulence energy injection in this layer is taken into account by introducing depth constant but non-stationary distributed sources that parameterize the effect of breakers penetrating into the water. Applying the statistic modelling methods allowed to produce the observed space-time turbulence pattern in the near-surface layer.
