【 摘 要 】

A simple model is presented for steady current profiles in the presence of waves. The current reduction and apparent roughness increase caused by the waves are shown to depend mainly on one dimensionless parameter u*/u"*, i.e. the ratio between the friction velocity amplitude due to the waves and the time averaged friction velocity. The model recognises the need to apply different eddy viscosities to different flow components. Also, the thickness of the wave influenced layer near the bed is comceptually separated from the vertical scale of the wave boundary layer.
