How do albatrosses fly around the world without flapping their wings (2011, background): “8), which is a region of closed streamlines centered about the critical layer and synchronous with the wave (Sullivan et al., 2000).”
Dynamics of Winds and Currents Coupled to Surface Waves (2010, background): “There are only a handful of DNS solutions for turbulent flow over a propagating wave (Kihara et al. 2007, Shen et al. 2003, Sullivan & McWilliams 2002, Sullivan et al. 2000).”
Wind Stress Vector over Ocean Waves (2003, background): “The wave-induced stress component in the marine surface layer shows strong dependence on wave age and ranges from positive to negative values (e.g., Makova 1975; Sullivan et al. 2000).”
Direct-simulation-based study of turbulent flow over various waving boundaries (2010, methodology): “Sullivan et al. (2000) and Kihara et al. (2007) studied the dependence of the air pressure field on the wave age for Airy waves with a low steepness ak = 0.1.”
