Abstract

A semi-theoretical study has been made of the problem of stable turbulent heat and mass transfer between a water surface and surrounding atmosphere under the influence of wind. The equations derived are based on the principle of similarity and are therefore expected to be valid under both laboratory and field conditions. The predicted heat- and mass-transfer Stanton numbers appear to be in satisfactory agreement with the available field data.
