Modulational Instability, Wave Breaking, and Formation of Large-Scale Dipoles in the Atmosphere
Modulational Instability, Wave Breaking, and Formation of Large-Scale Dipoles in the Atmosphere
In the present Letter we use the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of the Navier-Stokes equation for a two-phase flow (water and air) to study the dynamics of the modulational instability of free surface waves and its contribution to the interaction between ocean and atmosphere. If the steepness of the initial …
