  • 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...
