Abstract

This paper presents an application to the transition region of an integral momentum conservation model incorporating a Reynolds type decomposition for both wave and turbulent fluctuations. With simple parameterizations the model provides both a rough predictive capability for the limiting wave reduction across the transition zone and also an alternative means of examining the partitioning of flow momentum across the region.
