Abstract

This dataset is a supplement to the article published in Earth System Dynamics. The article describes a semi-analytical solution to an advection–diffusion equation coupled with a nonlinear wavemaker model to investigate the effect of strong nonlinearity on wave-induced mixing. The numerical model is based on a pseudo-spectral solution of advection-diffusion equation and two theoretical approaches to the wavemaker problem - weakly-nonlinear analytical model and numerical model admitting higher nonlinearities. The results of numerical modeling of wave kinematics and associated mixing in a wave flume are provided.

The dataset comprises numerically predicted velocity and temperature fields. Matlab scripts are available, which display the data. Moreover, Matlab scipts for solution of advection-diffusion equation with a weakly-nonlinear input are provided (description of the model is presented in the journal paper). Please refer to a readme file for further details.

The data and the code may be freely used and modified.
