Do Tidal-Channel Turbulence Measurements Support k−5/3?
We seriously challenge the belief that tidal-channel data of Grant et al. support the theory for the classical energy-spectrum behavior, φ∝k −5/3 in the inertial subrange [where k is wave number and φ(k) is the o...

Mixed-Layer Growth in Stratified Fluids
An experimental study of the growth of a shear-free turbulent mixed layer in a density-stratified fluid is described. Investigations included both linearly stratified and two-fluid systems and the results show...

A new theory of the energy spectrum
In a recent paper, the author introduced a new viscous boundary layer, called the mesolayer, in turbulent shear flow. Its importance stems from its location between the inner and outer regions which are controlle...

The Fluid Mechanical Problem of Fjord Circulations
There are too many theoretical aspects of fluid mechanical research on fjords and estuaries to treat all of them in a single paper even if, contrary to present circumstances, the author could claim overall com...

Drag and heat transfer relations for the planetary boundary layer
A theory is offered for the drag and heat transfer relations in the statistically steady, horizontally homogeneous, diabatic, barotropic planetary boundary layer. The boundary layer is divided into three regionsR

Mean stresses and velocities in the neutral, barotropic planetary boundary layer
The purpose of the paper is to find the mean velocities and stresses in the turbulent, neutral, barotropic planetary boundary layer (PBL). ‘Correction functions’ are introduced similar to those used by Millika...

Some properties of horizontally homogeneous, statistically steady turbulence in a stratified fluid
The paper contains a description of research closely connected to an experimental investigation of turbulent, stratified, shearing flow.

A Theory of Clear-Air Turbulence
An effort is made to understand the occurrence of clear-air turbulence in the atmosphere and the general properties of the turbulence. Attention is directed toward turbulence in fluid systems like the oceans a...

Studies of Thermal Convection in a Rotating Cylinder with Some Implications for Large-Scale Atmospheric Motions
The results of several years of research in atmospheric models are presented. A brief historical summary covers the important experimental work of early investigators in this field as well as the immediate bac...
