Notizen:
A single-point model in the vertical is used to examine the coupling between tidal currents and wind-driven flows in shallow near-coastal regions. Calculations using both a linear slip and a no-slip condition at the sea bed clearly show that coupling between tidal and wind-driven currents cannot occur in a linear model with a time-independent eddy viscosity. However with a physically more realistic time-varying viscosity related to the flow field, coupling does occur, the magnitude of this non-linear interaction depending upon the change in eddy viscosity over a tidal cycle and the intensity of shear in the vertical. A point model in the vertical with flow induced by an oscillatory pressure gradient and an additional constant wind stress is used to examine the influence of viscosity parametrization and water depth upon this coupling.The solution in the vertical is accomplished using both a functional approach and a finite difference method. Some conclusions as to the relative merits of these approaches, particularly the use of a transformed grid in the case of high-shear surface and bed boundary layers, are made in the paper.
