On a model of wind-induced flow of two layered viscous fluid

Abstract

Exact solution of the stationary problem of wind-induced flow of two-layered viscous fluid is found for two-dimensional in vertical plane current and for drift current in three-dimensional case. The condition of sliding is set on the bottom of a water body. The condition of nonpassage is set on the lateral surface. Results of some calculations are given in comparison with those obtained using Ekmans model (which does not take into account horizontal viscosity of the layer).
