Studies of lake currents have highlighted that in case of stagnant waters winds are the dominant driving forces. This study is dealing with the influence of dominant winds on the flow pattern of Palić Lake. Action of steady winds of different directions has been tested on the lake by means of a two dimensional numerical model, while in addition to winds all other permanent factors like actual bathymetry, inflow and outflow as well the Coriolis force have been accounted for. The experiments have revealed that winds of different directions created corresponding characteristic flow patterns (in base plot), which were similar in cases of winds having opposite directions. However, in such cases the direction of flow was opposite. Moreover, the Palić Lake model produced the well known double-gyre flow pattern: in the coastal strip the direction of the current corresponded to the wind direction, while it was opposite in the domain of open water.
