Universal similarity and the thickness of the viscous sublayer at the ocean floor

Creator:

Chriss, T.M. and Caldwell, Douglas R.

Abstract:

Experiments conducted on the Oregon continental shelf in June 1979 indicate that the boundary layer flow at the seafloor was hydrodynamically smooth. Fine-resolution velocity profiles are used to test the assumption that the flow behaved like a universally similar, neutrally buoyant flow over a smooth wall. The non-dimensional thickness of...
