The rectified flow, induced by divergence of the vorticity flux in lateral oscillatory viscous boundary layers along the sidewalls of a semi-enclosed basin, is studied as a function of the Strouhal number, k, equivalent to the Reynolds number of the viscous inner oscillatory boundary layer, and of the Stokes number. The squared ratio of these numbers defines another Reynolds number, measuring the strength of the self-advection by the residual flow. For strong self-advection the residual current decays to zero in an outer boundary, its width being large compared to the width of the inner layer. The regimes of small, moderate and strong self-advection are analysed.

Basal Melting

Ocean circulation and heat transport below the Ross Ice Shelf are difficult to observe because of the thick ice cover. Numerical modeling thus provides a practical method for testing ideas about sub-ice-shelf circulation and basal melting. In this study, tidal rectification (Zimmerman 1981), tidal front formation (Fearnhead 1975), and their impact on the sub-ice-shelf environment are determined from a numerical tidal model.
