“A Note on the bottom shear stress in oscillatory planetary boundary layer flow”
Authors: Dag Myrhaug,Affiliation: NTNU
Reference: 1988, Vol 9, No 3, pp. 129-136.
Keywords: Oscillatory planetary flow, boundary layer, eddy viscosity, bottom shear stress
Abstract: A simple analytical theory is presented, which describes the motion in a turbulent oscillatory planetary boundary layer near a rough seabed using a two-layer, time-invariant eddy viscosity model. The bottom shear stress is outlined, and comparison is made with Pingree and Griffiths´ (1974) measurements of turbulent tidal planetary boundary layer flow on the continental shelf south-west of Lands End, England.
