The Effect of the CL-Vortex Force in 3D Wave-Current Interaction

Year: 1997

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Experiments in flumes (i.e., Kemp and Simons, 1982, 1983, and Klopman, 1994) have shown that the mean current profile for following waves is more uniformly distributed than the corresponding current-only case, whereas the case of an opposing current leads to a more straight profile. This paper is concerned with proving that inclusion of the so-called Craik-Leibovich (CL) vortex force in the mean-current equation gives, at least for a part, an explanation of this phenomenon.
