TURBULENT WAKES IN DENSITY STRATIFIED FLUIDS OF FINITE EXTENT.

Abstract

Results are presented of an investigation of the effects of a free surface and density stratification of the turbulent transfer of mass and momentum in two-dimensional wakes. The effect of depth of submergence on the drag of a twodimensional body was also investigated.
