Studies of lake currents have highlighted that in case of stagnant waters
winds are the dominant driving forces. This study is dealing with the
influence of dominant winds on the flow pattern of Palic Lake. Action of
steady winds of different directions has been tested on the lake by means of
a two dimensional numerical model, while in addition to winds all other
permanent factors like actual bathymetry, inflow and outflow as well the
Coriolis force have been accounted for. The experiments have revealed that
winds of different directions created corresponding characteristic flow
patterns (in base plot), which were similar in cases of winds having opposite
directions. However, in such cases the direction of flow was opposite.
Moreover, the Palic Lake model produced the well known double-gyre flow
pattern: in the coastal strip the direction of the current corresponded to
the wind direction, while it was opposite in the domain of open water.
