Abstract:Analytical solutions to 2D depth-averaged (external mode) and fully 3D (internal mode) periodic flows for numerical model testing are presented in this paper. These solutions take into account the effects of the bottom friction, the horizontal turbulent viscosity, and the vertical turbulent viscosity for the case of 3D flow. The key linkage for the modes is the relationship between the bottom friction coefficients in the 2D and 3D solutions. In the analytical solutions, two parameters are introduced concerning… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
