| Abstract: | A model of turbulent incompressible fluid flow over a rough surface under the action of the Coriolis force with a turbulent transfer coefficient corresponding to the Prandtl mixing length is proposed. A solution of the problem, asymptotic in the small Coriolis parameter, is presented for horizontally uniform steady-state flow. It is shown that for a small Coriolis parameter the velocity profile and the turbulent transfer coefficient can differ substantially from the limiting expressions known from Prandtl theory. The smaller the roughness coefficient, the greater the difference.Moscow. Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 61–67, July–August, 1995. |
