Dataset for: Large-Eddy Simulations of Oil Droplet Aerosol Transport in the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer

A hybrid large-eddy simulation (LES) model is used to simulate the transport of oil droplet aerosols in wind over progressive water waves. The LES model employs a hybrid spectral and finite difference method of simulating the wind turbulence and a bounded finite-volume method for modeling the oil aerosol transport. Using a wave-following coordinate and computational grid, the LES model captures the turbulence flow and oil aerosol fields in the region adjacent to the unsteady wave surface. A pure wind-sea case with a flat surface and prescribed roughness and a swell wave case are considered to study the effects of swells on the transport of oil droplet aerosols with four different droplet diameters.
