Coriolis–Stokes force
In fluid dynamics, the Coriolis–Stokes force is a force in a rotating fluid due to interaction of the Coriolis effect and wave induced Stokes drift. This force acts on water independently of the wind stress.[1]
This force is named after Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis and George Gabriel Stokes, two nineteenth-century scientists.
