Bottom friction effects on linear wave propagation

Bottom boundary layer effects on the linear wave propagation over mild slope bottoms are analyzed. A modified WKB approximation is presented including boundary layer effects. Within the boundary layer, two cases are considered: laminar (constant viscosity) and turbulent. Boundary layer effects are i...
