Numerical simulation of the air-sea interface under hurricane conditions

This dataset consists of the .cas and .dat files from the ANSYS Fluent computational fluid dynamics simulation of the air-sea interface under hurricane wind speed conditions. The simulation was done with a very fine mesh resolution to observe fine-scale structures on the sea-surface resembling Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. This dataset supports the publication: Soloviev, A.V., Lukas, R., Donelan, M. A., Haus, B. K., & Ginis, I. (2017). Is the State of the Air‐Sea Interface a Factor in Rapid Intensification and Rapid Decline of Tropical Cyclones?.
