Boussinesq modeling of a rip current system

Chen, Qin; Dalrymple, Robert A.; Kirby, James T.; Kennedy, Andrew B.; Haller, Merrick C. (American Geophysical Union, 1999-09-15)

In this study, we use a time domain numerical model based on the fully nonlinear extended Boussinesq equations [Wei et al., 1995] to investigate surface wave transformation and breaking-induced nearshore circulation. The ...
Experimental study of nearshore dynamics on a barred beach with rip channels

Haller, Merrick C.; Dalrymple, Robert A.; Svendsen, Ib A. (2002-06-28)

Wave and current measurements are presented from a set of laboratory experiments performed on a fixed barred beach with periodically spaced rip channels using a range of incident wave conditions. The data demonstrate t ...
Rip current instabilities

Haller, Merrick C.; Dalrymple, Robert A. (Cambridge University Press, 2001-04)

A laboratory experiment involving rip currents generated on a barred beach with periodic rip channels indicates that rip currents contain energetic low-frequency oscillations in the presence of steady wave forcing. An ...
