摘要
Sea bottom stress is conventionally assumed to be directly proportional to the square of the verticallyaveraged velocity,and the drag coefficient to be dependent on the speed and direction of the wind on the sea surface,the depth and dimension of the sea,the period of the tide and so on. In this paper a three-dimensional numerical model is used to discuss the relation the dragcoefficient and the above-mentioned factors.It can be shown from calculation that the relation, is valid,that the drag coefficient is a constant in a major part of a sea as thought conventionally,andthat there is a small area near the coast where the drag coefficient is far greater.We call it singular area. A number of conclusions on the relation between the drag coefficient and the speed and direction ofthe wind,the sea depth and so on,were obtained.

It can be shown from calculation that the relation, |■|∞|■| is valid, that the drag coefficient is a constant in a major part of a sea as thought conventionally, and that there is a small area near the coast where the drag coefficient is far gteater. We call it singular area.A number of conclusions on the relation between the drag coefficient and the speed and direction of the wind, the sea depth and so on, were obtained.
