This study investigated the performance of two ocean wave models, that is, Simulation Wave Nearshore (SWAN) and WAVEWATCH-III (WW3), and the interannual and seasonal variability of transport induced by Stokes drift during the period from 1989 to 2019. Three types of sea surface wind products were used for wave simulation: the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Interim, the Cross Calibrated Multi-Platform Version 2.0 (CCMP V2.0) from Remote Sensing Systems (RSS), and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System (GFS). The modeling was validated against wave measurements from the Jason-2 altimeter in 2015. The analysis found that the root mean square error (RMSE) of significant wave height (SWH) from the WW3 model using CCMP wind data was 0.17 m, which is less than the ~0.6-m RMSE of SWH from the SWAN model using the other types of wind data. The simulations from the WW3 model using CCMP wind data indicated that the Stokes transport is up to 2 m2/s higher in the South China Sea and Japan Sea than that at other ocean regions in January. The interannual variation showed that the Stokes transport generally increased from 0.25 m2/s in 1989 to 0.35 m2/s in 2018. We also found that the accuracy of the sea surface temperature (SST) simulation using the Stony Brook Parallel Ocean Model (sbPOM) is improved by as much as 0.5 °C when Stokes transport is considered to validate the sbPOM-simulated SST against the measurements from Argo in 2012-2015. In particular, the Stokes transport has a negative effect on Summer (March to June) and has a positive effect in Autumn (July to September), which is probably caused by the tropical cyclones.

A 3D mathematical model for a hydrogen engine based on the Navier—Stokes transport equations in the Reynolds form is developed and verified. The influence of the crankshaft rotating frequency, excess air ratio and ignition timing on the engine performance is established. The expediency of operation of a hydrogen engine with external mixture formation and forced ignition on a lean combustible mixture is proved. Keywords: hydrogen engine, mathematical modeling, local heat exchange, combustion chamber, lean fuel mixture [email protected] ,

Abstract The future Stokes drift climate is investigated using a global wave climate projection (2071–2100) forced with EC-EARTH winds under the RCP8.5 scenario. The future climate run is compared against a historical run (1976–2005). The Stokes drift climate is analyzed in terms of Stokes transport and surface Stokes drift. The impact on Stokes drift from changes to the wind, wind sea, and swell climate is identified. The consequences for upper-ocean mixing and circulation are studied by investigating the turbulent Langmuir number and the Stokes depth. The historical climate run is also compared to a hindcast with ERA-Interim forcing. Systematic discrepancies due to differences in resolution and model physics are identified, but no fundamental weaknesses are uncovered that should adversely affect the future run. As the surface Stokes drift is largely dictated by high-frequency waves, it is to a great degree controlled by changes to the local wind field, whereas the Stokes transport is more sensitive to swell. Both are expected to increase in the Southern Ocean by about 15%, while the North Atlantic sees a decrease of about 10%. The Stokes depth and the turbulent Langmuir number are set to change by about ±20% and ±10%, respectively. The changes to the Stokes depth suggest a deeper impact of the Coriolis–Stokes force in the Southern Ocean and a decrease in the northern extratropics. Changes to the KPP Langmuir-enhancement factor suggests potentially increased mixing in the Southern Ocean and a reduction in the North Atlantic and the North Pacific.
