ENDLESS: An Extended Nonperiodic Domain Large-Eddy Simulation Approach for Scalar Plumes

The Extended Nonperiodic Domain LES for Scalar transport (ENDLESS) is proposed as a new approach to study the transport and dispersion of passive scalars over a large domain using LES. This dataset contains results of simulations in which the ENDLESS technique is applied to the study of oil plumes in the ocean mixed layer. The dataset consists of two validation cases as well as two application cases, which illustrate the adaptive plume-tracking ability of new method. This dataset also includes the simulation setup parameters as well as the plume structures for both validation and applications. The details about the simulations and data analyses as well as the visualization can be found in the paper “ENDLESS: An Extended Nonperiodic Domain Large-Eddy Simulation Approach for Scalar Plumes” (published in Ocean Modelling, DOI: 10.1016/j.ocemod.2016.04.003).用于标量输运的扩展非周期域大涡模拟（Extended Nonperiodic Domain LES for Scalar transport，缩写为ENDLESS）被提出，作为一种借助大涡模拟（Large-Eddy Simulation，LES）研究大尺度区域内被动标量输运与扩散过程的全新方法。本数据集收录了应用ENDLESS方法开展海洋混合层油羽流研究的数值模拟结果，包含两组验证算例与两组应用算例，用以展示该方法的自适应羽流追踪能力。此外，数据集还涵盖了验证与应用两类场景下的模拟设置参数以及羽流结构数据。关于模拟流程、数据分析及可视化方法的详细内容，可参阅发表于《海洋建模（Ocean Modelling）》的论文《ENDLESS：一种用于标量羽流的扩展非周期域大涡模拟方法》（DOI: 10.1016/j.ocemod.2016.04.003）。
