TKE flux from wave-breaking


INTERFACE:

   REALTYPE  function fk_craig(u_tau,eta)
DESCRIPTION:

This functions returns the flux of $ k$ caused by breaking surface waves according to

$\displaystyle F_k = \eta u_*^3 \quad .$ (209)

This form has also been used by Craig and Banner (1994), who suggested $ \eta \approx 100$.
