Observations of Vorticity and Turbulent Properties in a Tidal Channel
Abstract
Our goal is to contribute to a better understanding of basic processes in shallow water and coastal flows, in order to provide better, more physically based parameterizations for coastal models. We seek to understand how high Reynolds number coastal flows interact with boundaries producing tangential stress, dissipation, mixing and secondary circulation. In the future, we intend to compare the field observations with direct numerical simulations.
