Stratification Effects in a Bottom Ekman Layer
A stratified bottom Ekman layer over a nonsloping, rough surface is studied using a three-dimensional unsteady large eddy simulation to examine the effects of an outer layer stratification on the boundary layer structure. When the flow field is initialized with a linear temperature profile, a three-layer structure develops with a mixed layer near the wall separated from a uniformly stratified o...
متن کاملDirect and large eddy simulations of a bottom Ekman layer under an external stratification
A steady Ekman layer with a thermally stratified outer flow and an adiabatic boundary condition at the lower wall is studied using direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES). An initially linear temperature profile is mixed by turbulence near the wall, and a stable thermocline forms above the mixed layer. The thickness of the mixed layer is reduced by the outer layer stra...
متن کاملInternal gravity waves generated by a turbulent bottom Ekman layer
Internal gravity waves excited by the turbulent motions in a bottom Ekman layer are examined using large-eddy simulation. The outer flow is steady and uniformly stratified while the density gradient is set to zero at the flat lower wall. After initializing with a linear density profile, a mixed layer forms near the wall separated from the ambient stratification by a pycnocline. Two types of int...
متن کاملLarge scale turbulence structures in the Ekman boundary layer
The Ekman boundary layer (EBL) is a non-stratifi ed turbulent layer of fl uid in a rotated frame of reference. The EBL comprises two sub-layers, namely, the surface sub-layer, where small scale well-developed turbulence dominates, and the core sub-layer, where large scale self-organized turbulence dominates. This study reports self-organization of large scale turbulence in the EBL as simulated ...
متن کاملA perturbation approach to large eddy simulation of wave-induced bottom boundary layer flows
We present the development, validation, and application of a numerical model for the simulation of bottom boundary layer (BL) flows induced by arbitrary finite amplitude waves. Our approach is based on coupling a ‘near-field’ local Navier–Stokes (NS) model with a ‘far-field’ inviscid flow model, which simulates large scale incident wave propagation and transformations over a complex ocean botto...
