Towards RANS Parameterization of Vertical Mixing by Langmuir Turbulence in Shallow Coastal Shelves
Langmuir turbulence in the upper ocean is generated by the interaction between the wind-driven shear current and the Stokes drift velocity induced by surface gravity waves. In homogenous (neutrally stratified) shallow water, the largest scales of Langmuir turbulence are characterized by full-depth L...
