CMS-Flow:Wind Pressure

Wind

In CMS-Flow the wind shear stress is calculated as

     ${\tau }_{Wx}={\rho }_a{C}_d{W}^{2}sin(\theta )$,  Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle   \tau_{Wx} = \rho_a C_d W^{2} cos (\theta)   where {| border="1" ! Symbol!! Description !! Units |- |  <math>\tau_{W}}
   || Wind shear stress || Pa

|- | ${\rho }_a$ || Atmospheric density (~1.2 kg/m^3) || kg/m^3 |- | $C_d$ || Wind drag coefficient || none |- | $W$ || 10-min averaged wind speed at 10 m above the sea surface || m/sec |}
