= Craik–Leibovich vortex force
{wiki=Craik–Leibovich_vortex_force}
The Craik–Leibovich vortex force is a concept in fluid dynamics that describes the interaction between vortices and the underlying shear flow, particularly in the context of water waves and oceanic flows. Specifically, it addresses how the presence of vortices influences the propagation of surface waves on a fluid, such as the interaction between a wind-generated wavefield and swirling or rotational flow structures.
