Kr. Stapleton et Da. Huntley, SEABED STRESS DETERMINATIONS USING THE INERTIAL DISSIPATION METHOD AND THE TURBULENT KINETIC-ENERGY METHOD, Earth surface processes and landforms, 20(9), 1995, pp. 807-815
Direct measurements of seabed stress are difficult, especially in fiel
d conditions. Several methods for estimating these stresses using curr
ent meter data are available. Two of these methods, the Inertial Dissi
pation Method and the Turbulent Kinetic Energy Method, are described b
elow, and a Matlab program is used to analyse data from a wave-current
environment.
