Turbulent Transfer Across Smooth and Rough Surfaces

  • Chapter
Gas Transfer at Water Surfaces

Part of the book series: Water Science and Technology Library ((WSTL,volume 2))

Abstract

A resistance in series model is used to correlate transfer coefficients for smooth and rough surfaces. The former incorporates a viscous and diffusional sublayer in the surface film component and the latter the roughness height in the renewal component. A function is proposed for the transitional region, which incorporates both of these parameters. The correlations are used as a basis for estimating transfer coefficients for environmental conditions.
