<p>The drag coefficient is very important parameter that is used to calculate the air-sea momentum flux. Although the many estimation models of the drag coefficient have been proposed and discussed (conditions with extreme wind, wind wave, swell, ...
The mass transfer across a sheared gas-liquid interface strongly depends on the Schmidt number. Here we investigate the relationship between mass transfer coefficient on the liquid side, k(L), and Schmidt number, Sc, in the wide range of 0.7 <= Sc...

Turbulent heat transfer across a sheared wind-driven gas-liquid interface is investigated by means of a direct numerical simulation of gas-liquid two-phase turbulent flows under non-breaking wave conditions. The wind-driven wavy gas-liquid interfa...

Previous studies have demonstrated the saturation of drag coefficients at strong wind speeds. But the mechanism behind this saturation has not yet been fully clarified. In this study, at normal and strong wind speeds, we use a wind-wave tank for i...
