Dataset for "Air Entrainment and Gas Transfer Processes in Wave Breaking Events"

This repository contains the dataset and accompanying tools used in the study "Air Entrainment and Gas Transfer Processes in Wave Breaking Events", available on arXiv (DOI: 10.48550/arXiv.2412.20576).

The study investigates gas transfer processes at the air-water interface during wave breaking events using high-fidelity numerical simulations. It focuses on regular wave patterns, mild spilling, and intense plunging breaking waves, emphasizing air entrainment and energy dissipation.

Contents

• Raw Data: Global raw output files (channel_*_*.out) generated from six numerical simulations.
• README.txt: Documentation describing the raw data structure.
• Fortran Processing Script (process_modified.f90): A program that processes the raw data to generate .datfiles.
• Processed Data: .dat files generated by the Fortran script, ready for analysis and visualization.
• Visualization Files: Gnuplot scripts (.gnu) used to create the figures presented in the paper.
• Videos: Two videos (.mp4) from a simulation with a Reynolds number Re=4.E4 and initial steepness ϵ=0.50, showing the air-water interface dynamics and the gas concentration map.

Format and Tools
