Form Drag and Mixing Due to Tidal Flow past a Sharp Point

Creator:

Edwards, Kathleen A., MacCready, Parker, Moum, James N., Pawla, Geno, Klymak, Jody M., and Perlin, Alexander

Abstract:

Barotropic tidal currents flowing over rough topography may be slowed by two bottom boundary–related processes: tangential stress of the bottom boundary layer, which is generally well represented by a quadratic drag law, and normal stress from bottom pressure, known as form drag. Form drag is rarely estimated from oceanic observations...
