Abstract
In this thesis, a two-dimensional in the vertical plane numerical model has been developed for simulation of the free surface and density interface profiles due to a wind shear stress applied on a stratified water body, such as lake or reservoir. The results agreed qualitatively and quantitatively with our experimental results, as well as with the work of other researchers. A computer algorithm is established that can be used to estimate the shear stress along the interface and the velocity field throughout the water body. The model can be applied for prediction of wind-induced mixing processes in elongated lakes or reservoirs.
