Dynamics of the nearshore wave bottom boundary layer

Creator:: Foster, Diane Lyn
Abstract:: This thesis presents an examination of the nearshore wave bottom boundary layer under conditions of significant sediment response. Using both field observations and simple models, the response of the bottom boundary layer to random waves is shown to have a complex behavior. First, the linearized wave bottom boundary layer governing...

Remote sensing of radiation stress gradients from optical imagery

Creator:: Killian, Jason R.
Abstract:: Wave-induced circulation is the defining characteristic of the nearshore. Within this region, the constant feedback cycle between incoming waves, wave-generated currents, and the mobile sediment bed is responsible for the evolution of complex patterns in nearshore and beach morphology. Central to our understanding of this system is knowledge of the...

Remote measurements of waves and currents over complex bathymetry

Creator:: Chickadel, Carmine C. (Carmine Christopher)
Abstract:: Waves are the primary input of energy in the nearshore region, and together with the currents forced through the transfer of momentum that occurs during the wave breaking process they are the principal mechanism for sediment transport in the nearshore. The basic physics of waves and currents are thought to...

Field validation of a nearshore circulation model for alongshore-nonuniform flows

Creator:: Wilson, Gregory W.
Abstract:: We investigate, theoretically and experimentally, the problem of modeling depth-integrated (2DH) surf zone circulation on an alongshore-nonuniform natural beach, with waves approaching from an arbitrary angle. An approximate theoretical model is developed, which captures the important effect of advection in the alongshore dynamics, and shows that a nondimensional parameter Re[subscript]s...

The role of morphologic feedback in surf zone sand bar response

Creator:: Plant, Nathaniel Granger
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Statistical distribution of swash maxima on natural beaches

Creator:: Holland, K. Todd
Abstract:: Beach response to overwash processes is a topic of significant importance. Two particular aspects of this topic were chosen for detailed analysis: the distribution of maximum wave runup elevations and the cross-beach celerity gradient of overwash bores on natural beaches. Data were collected using both traditional nearshore instrumentation and recently...
