Abstract: The law of the wall for turbulent boundary layer flow provides an analytic solution for the velocity profile and predictions of the bed shear stress. Most formulations and usages of the law of the wall require knowledge ...

Abstract: The simple scaling of a tidal bottom boundary layer by the shear velocity, u*, and the wall to the wall describes well the mean Bow field. To test the full extent of this scaling measurements were made of the turbulence ...

Abstract: A vertical array of acoustic current meters measures the vector flow field in the lowest 5 m of the oceanic boundary layer. By resolving the velocity to 0.03 cm s?1 over 15 cm paths, it samples the dominant turbulent eddies ...
