Abstract: Wind‐driven currents in estuaries, lakes, and the ocean are often observed to include strong longitudinal vortices, known as Langmuir cells. To test experimentally the theory developed by Craik and Leibovich that these ...

Abstract: In this paper we report the results of a study of the variation of shear stress and the bottom drag coefficient

Abstract: In this paper, we report the behavior of a double-diffusive jet with a stability ratio

Abstract: Several advective transport schemes are considered in the context of two-dimensional scalar transport. To review the properties of these transport schemes, results are presented for simple advective test cases. Wide variation ...

Abstract: A conservative transport method and a two-equation turbulence closure model are added to an established three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The resulting model is applied to simulate the development of the salinity field ...

Abstract: A pseudo-three-dimensional particle tracking model of drifter paths has been developed to study the movement of scalars through a complex network of tidal channels and junctions. To better simulate dispersion caused by ...

Abstract: The internal dynamics of Clear Lake, California—a large, multibasin and polymictic lake—under stratified conditions is described in this work. Particular attention is paid to one of the subbasins of Clear Lake (Oaks Arm). ...

Abstract: Acoustic Doppler current profilers are deployed to measure both the mean flow and turbulent properties in a channel with significant curvature. Direct measurements of the Reynolds stress show a significant asymmetry over ...
