Convectively-Driven Mean Flow in Partially Enclosed Seas
1998
Maxworthy, Tony
The goal of the project is to gain an understanding of the density and velocity fields created by a surface forcing, e.g., buoyancy flux and wind stress, in partially enclosed seas with hydraulically constrained exits. Applications to the Red and Mediterranean Seas are foremost in our thinking but the flows in fjords and other embayments of this type are also of interest. We wish to determine the scaling laws that relate the density and velocity distributions to the independent variables in the problem. The latter would include the magnitude of the buoyancy flux and wind stress and the geometry of the sea and the exit strait. Hopefully these should then lead to a more complete understanding of the prototype and to suggestions for suitable field experiments.
