Simulation of Air-Sea Interaction in A Turbulent Opposing Wind

Xianyun Wen Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science School of Earth and Environment University of Leeds, UK

The presentation at the conference will show the detailed numerical results, such as turbulent velocity and pressure distributions in the air and water, profile of interface, wind profile of two-dimensional air-water flow in a turbulent opposing wind. The presentation will also show the micro-waves at the interface and the water current under the interface generated by strong wind.
