Abstract
Shapes of mean water velocity profiles measured with microscopic bubble tracers in developing, laminar flows are recognizably different from those in a turbulent flow. A previously deduced viscous sublayer occurs at the surface, although it is thinner than an analogous sublayer computed for a solid boundary. The differing thickness leads in part to decreased surface temperatures at slicks.Keywords
