Shear Stress at the Water Surface in Mooring Formulas

Shear Stress at the Water Surface referred to as the “tractive force” is a measure of the internal resistance of a fluid to deformation when subjected to a force acting parallel to its surface. And is denoted by τ. Shear Stress at the Water Surface is usually measured using the Newton per Square Meter for Pressure. Note that the value of Shear Stress at the Water Surface is always positive.
