Wave-induced longitudinal vortices in a shallow current by Huang, Zhenhua, Mei, Chiang C.

“…With a simple model of eddy viscosity the dimensionless shearing rate of the basic current is much weaker than the dimensionless velocity almost everywhere except near the bed. We shall show that in addition to the internal vortex force, a mean shear stress exists on the mean sea level, owing to nonlinear wave–current interactions, despite the absence of wind. …”
