Abstract Turbulence structure and heat and mass transfer mechanism across a wavy sheared gas-liquid interface are fluid-mechanically investigated in a wind-wave tunnel. Heat and mass transfer velocities are reported and the relationship between the scalar transfer velocities and the turbulence structure is discussed. In addition, three-dimensional direct numerical simulation is carried out to investigate the flow structure over a rigid-wavy wall similar to that over the wave. The results show that the organized motion in the air flow intermittently appears on the front side of the wave crest, and its structure is rather similar to the flow structure over the rigid-wavy wall. The organized motion in the air flow induces the organized motion in the water flow and the organized motion renews the air-water interface. The scalar transfer across a wavy sheared gas-liquid interface is controlled by the organized surface-renewal motion in the water flow
