[1] This paper examines near-bottom shear stresses at two locations in a small, highly stratified estuary: the Navesink River, New Jersey, USA. The shear stresses obtained from acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) operating in the recently developed mode 11 at a high spatial resolution are examined in detail. Measurement noise of the ADCP is estimated using autocorrelation analyses and is...

The Reynolds stress induced by anisotropically forcing an unbounded Couette flow, with uniform shear g, on a b plane, is calculated in conjunction with the eddy diffusivity of a coevolving passive tracer. The flow is damped by linear drag on a time scale m. The stochastic forcing is white noise in time and its spatial anisotropy is controlled by a parameter a that characterizes whether eddies a...

The ability of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes method, PAB3D, to simulate the e ect of Reynolds number variation using non-linear explicit algebraic Reynolds stress turbulence modeling was assessed. Subsonic at plate boundary-layer ow parameters such as normalized velocity distributions, local and average skin friction, and shape factor were compared with DNS calculations and classical theo...

Effect of time dependent normal transpiration on the problem of unsteady viscous flow and heat transfer in the vicinity of an axisymmetric stagnation point of an infinite circular cylinder moving simultaneously with time-depended angular and axial velocities and with time-dependent wall temperature or wall heat flux are investigated. The impinging free stream is steady with a strain rate . A re...
