A NOTE ON THE FRICTION COEFFICIENT OBTAINED BY THE WIND PROFILE METHOD FROM OUR WIND FLUME EXPERIMENTS

摘要

The effect of the zero-plane displacement of the wind profile over the wind waves on the friction coefficient is presented here by using data from our wind flume experiments. The zero-plane where the wind profile is closest to the logarithmic profile is found at a somewhat higher place than the mean wave crest and at a lower place than the mean wave trough. This fact seems to show that the wind profile over the wind waves is a little different from the logarithmic profile.
