Multiscale Momentum Flux and Diffusion due to Whitecapping in Wave―Current Interactions

Whitecapping affects the Reynolds stresses near the ocean surface. A model for the conservative dynamics of waves and currents is modified to include the averaged effect of multiple, short-lived, and random wave-breaking events on large spatiotemporal scales. In this study’s treatment, whitecapping...
