Rotating Exchange Flow

Abstract

Flow through ocean straits and channels helps set the water-mass properties of the larger basins at each end. The long term goal of this research is an understanding of the roles that rotation and friction play in the transport and water mass mixing of flows through oceanic straits, channels and canyons.
