A numerical study on Langmuir circulations and coherent vortical structures beneath surface waves

Langmuir circulations (LCs) arise through the interaction between the Lagrangian drift of the surface waves and the wind-driven shear layer. Quasi-streamwise vortices (QSVs) also form in the turbulent shear layer next to a flat surface. Both vortical structures manifest themselves by inducing wind-a...
