Australian Journal of Physics 18(3) 219 - 226
Published: 1965

Abstract

The surface velocity, surface slope, and velocity profile produced by the application of a wind stress to the smooth surface of a closed channel have been determined by adapting the empirical laws of flow in smooth tubes. The estimated responses agree well with the available experimental data.
