摘要
The atmospheric boundaly layer over sea surface is simplified as mixed convection of turbulent boundary lay er flow over a horizontal plate, and the momentum exchange between wind and waves is also included in the model. Ef fects of wind speed, air-sea temperature difference and fetch on the momentum exchange between air and sea are re vealed. The turbulence model used in calculating boundary layer is an extended version of the Van Driest mixing lengthmodel, and a combined theoretical and semi-empirical approach is employed in estimating the effect of ocean waves. Forfetch-limited cases, i. e. wind blows off sea shore for a limited distance. fetch plays a fundamental role in the air-sea mo mentum exchange under different air-sea temperature conditions, which is not discussed in previous studies.
