Ocean Wave Simulation Based on Wind Field

Ocean Wave Simulation Based on Wind Field

Ocean wave simulation has a wide range of applications in movies, video games and training systems. Wind force is the main energy resource for generating ocean waves, which are the result of the interaction between wind and the ocean surface. While numerous methods to handle simulating oceans and other fluid phenomena have undergone rapid development during the past years in the field of comput...

High Wind Upper Ocean Mixing with Explicit Surface Wave Processes

The work described here supports the Office of Naval Research Departmental Research Initiative (DRI) for research on the “Impact of Typhoons on the Western Pacific Ocean” (ITOP). The theme of the DRI is to better characterize and predict the ocean boundary layer (OBL) and its impact on typhoon (hurricane) evolution. This is one component of developing improved pre­ diction models for the couple...

High Resolution Remote Sensing of Ocean Wind and Wave Fields

The technical approach in this project involves three types of models: (1) the two-scale electromagnetic scattering model, which relates the radar backscatter to the surface wave spectrum, (2) the wave action model, which describes the relationship between the surface wave spectrum and the near-surface wind field, and (3) atmospheric dynamical models that describe or constrain the spatial varia...
