  • Setup and swash on a natural beach

    Creator:
    Sallenger, A. H., Jr. and Holman, Robert A.
    Abstract:
    Wave setup and swash statistics were calculated from 154 runup time series steep beach under incident waves varying from 0.4 to 4.0 m significant wave height. incident wave height, setup, swash height, and total runup (the sum of setup and were found to vary linearly with the surf zone similarity...

  • Quantifying the length-scale dependence of surf zone advection

    Creator:
    Wilson, Greg W., Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba, and Holman, Robert A.
    Abstract:
    We investigate the momentum balance in the surf zone, in a setting which is weakly varying in the alongshore direction. Our focus is on the role of nonlinear advective terms. Using numerical experiments, we find that advection tends to counteract alongshore variations in momentum flux, resulting in more uniform kinematics....

  • Edge waves in the presence of strong longshore currents

    Creator:
    Howd, Peter A., Bowen, Anthony J., and Holman, Robert A.
    Abstract:
    A form of the linear, inviscid shallow water wave equation which includes alongshore uniform, but cross-shore variable, longshore currents and bathymetry is presented. This formulation provides a continuum between gravity waves (either leaky or edge waves) on a longshore current, and the recently discovered shear waves. In this paper we...
