Gas transfer to and across an air-water interface
Open accessAbstract
A treatment based on Reichardt's formulation of the velocity profile in turbulent flow over a smooth plane surface is shown to give good agreement with published data on the boundary layer transfer of heat and mass over a wide range of Prandtl (or Schmidt) number, si. Applied to transfer to a water surface, agreement with published laboratory results is also good for low air speeds (smooth water). Comparison with observations for the sea shows there is little difference between the calculated evaporation coefficient and those reported for the sea with winds of ~7 m s-1. This is consistent with sea trials having so far detected little increase of evaporation and heat transfer coefficients with wind speed over the range 4–10 m s-1.The air/water transfer of non-reactive gas is governed by the resistance of the viscous sublayer of water, and the smooth surface treatment gives the transfer velocity (VL) on a liquid phase basis as VL = 0.082 (ρa/ρw)½σ-⅔u* where ρaρw is the density ratio, air/water, and u* = friction velocity of the surface air flow. The agreement between this formula and published wind tunnel results is good for the smooth water condition. At higher wind speeds transfer exceeds the calculated value and appears then to increase roughly in proportion to the square of the wind speed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
