Mean flow and turbulence scaling in a tidal boundary layer

Calculations based on data from 10 triplets of orthogonally oriented ducted impeller current meters vertically spaced near the bottom of an estuary in Puget Sound show that: (1) 10 min averaging reduces the uncertainties in the value of the various means to±3.6% for the velocity,± 8.8% for the frict...

description Calculations based on data from 10 triplets of orthogonally oriented ducted impeller current meters vertically spaced near the bottom of an estuary in Puget Sound show that: (1) 10 min averaging reduces the uncertainties in the value of the various means to±3.6% for the velocity,± 8.8% for the friction velocity,±50% for the extrapolated zero-velocity height (roughness length), and±40% for the Reynolds stress (95% confidence); (2) because of the magnitude of the lowfrequency (tidal) variability, lengthening of the averaging period does not reduce the uncertainties; and (3) a quasi-stationary model suffices to relate the Reynolds stress to the mean velocity profile within the above uncertainties. Including the dynamic effects of temporal variability in the model does not produce a measurably better prediction.
