RISUncertainties in Estimates of Reynolds Stress and TKE Production Rate Using the ADCP Variance Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) to measure turbulent parameters via the variance method involves uncertainties due to instrument noise and flow-related errors in measurement. For weak flows, the ...
Reynolds Stress and Turbulent Energy Production in a Tidal Channel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-frequency (1.2 MHz) acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) moored on the seabed has been used to observe the mean and turbulent flow components in a narrow tidally energetic channel over six tidal cycles at neap ...
Measurement of the Rates of Production and Dissipation of Turbulent Kinetic Energy in an Energetic Tidal Flow: Red Wharf Bay Revisited
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simultaneous measurements of the rates of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation (ε) and production (P) have been made over a period of 24 h at a tidally energetic site in the northern Irish Sea in water of 25-m depth. ...
