Abstract

We report direct numerical simulations of incompressible unsteady open-channel flow. Two mechanisms of turbulence production are considered: shear at the bottom and externally imposed stress at the free surface. We concentrate upon the effects of mutual interaction of small-amplitude gravity waves with in-depth turbulence and statistical properties of the near-free-surface region. Extensions of our approach can be used to study turbulent mixing in the upper ocean and wind–sea interaction, and to provide diagnostics of bulk turbulence.
