Abstract

Field measurements of steady current profiles under the influence of waves are described, including a technique for obtaining an extra independant estimate of the friction velocity. Field and laboratory measurements are analysed for the effect on apparent bed roughness by superimposing waves on a current. Finally the applicability of the eddy viscosity concept to combined flows is examined. The conclusion is that in general, different eddy viscosities must be applied to different flow components.
