A three-dimensional numerical model is developed in this study to investigate the problem of wave-current-body interaction. The model solves the spatially averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Turbulence effects are modeled by a subgrid-scale (SGS) model using the concept of large eddy simulation (LES).
Wave-current laboratory experiments have shown that the logarithmic current profile observed in pure current flows is modified due to the presence of waves. When waves propagate opposite the current, an increase in the current intensity is achieved near the mean water level, while a reduction is obt
