    Great summaries by some of the most prominent people in the field of the state of the art. For abstracts of papers click here.

References on Bottom boundary layers dynamics

    A great resource of the state of the art up to 1984.

Vogel's Life in moving fluids and Denny's Biology and mechanics of the wave-swept environment both have chapters on the subject.
