The dynamics of pressure and form drag on a sloping headland: Internal waves versus eddies

Creator:

Warner, Sally J. and MacCready, Parker

Abstract:

Topographically generated eddies and internal waves have traditionally been studied separately even though bathymetry that creates both phenomena is abundant in coastal regions. Here a numerical model is used to understand the dynamics of eddy and wave generation as tidal currents flow past Three Tree Point, a 1 km long,...

Measurement of Tidal Form Drag Using Seafloor Pressure Sensors

Creator:

Warner, Sally J., MacCready, Parker, Moum, James N., and Nash, Jonathan D.

Abstract:

As currents flow over rough topography, the pressure difference between the up-and downstream sides results in form drag-a force that opposes the flow. Measuring form drag is valuable because it can be used to estimate the loss of energy from currents as they interact with topography. An array of bottom...
