Abstract
Water waves exert significant dynamic influences on underlying turbulence, which can give rise to distinct coherent turbulent structures known as Langmuir circulations. In the present study, we use a novel wave-phase-resolved simulation method to investigate turbulence–wave interactions induced by a surface wave packet. The analysis reveals that turbulence statistics undergo substantial changes after the wave packet passage. Then, we investigate the turbulence dynamics of Langmuir circulations using the resolvent model derived from linearized Craik–Leibovich equations. The principal mode of the model predicts coherent structures that closely align with the vortical features observed in Langmuir circulations. These findings offer new perspectives on the dynamics of turbulence–wave interactions and provide a foundation for advancing the studies of Langmuir circulation.
