Momentum and Energy Transfer in the Oceanic Law of the Wall Region

The law of the wall for turbulent boundary layer flow provides an analytic solution for the velocity profile and predictions of the bed shear stress. Most formulations and usages of the law of the wall require knowledge of the physical configuration of the seabed, which is input to the theory in the...

Summary:The law of the wall for turbulent boundary layer flow provides an analytic solution for the velocity profile and predictions of the bed shear stress. Most formulations and usages of the law of the wall require knowledge of the physical configuration of the seabed, which is input to the theory in the form of the z0 length scale, the putative height above the bed where the logarithmic velocity profile goes to zero.
