On the multi-scale interactions between an offshore-wind-turbine wake and the ocean-sediment dynamics in an idealized framework - A numerical investigation

The turbulent ocean dynamics is numerically integrated using time dependent simulations at fine horizontal resolution (1 m). From these simulations, eddy coefficients parametrizating the turbulent fluxes are proposed to be used in larger-scale (RANS) models. The ocean dynamics and the parameter values depend mainly on S. The ocean dynamics is laminar (S > 7.10−2), has a localized (7.10−2
