Wind-driven currents in a long rotating channel Cover

Wind-driven currents in a long rotating channel

Open Access
|Jan 1967

Abstract

Boundary-layer type solutions are obtained for currents generated in a homogeneous fluid in a long rotating channel by a steady wind stress acting along or across the channel. Included are viscous wall boundary layers which arise necessarily from secondary circulations transverse to the axis of the channel, and from no slip conditions at the wall.
