The channel flow subjected to a wind stress at the free surface and an oscillating pressure gradient is investigated using large-eddy simulations (LES). A slowly pulsating mean flow occurs, with the turbulent mechanics essentially being quasi steady. Logarithmic boundary layers are present at both the bottom wall and the free-surface. Turbulent streaks are observed in the bottom and free-surface layer. The mean velocity and the structures emerging in the flow have been discussed.
