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...

Infragravity waves over a natural barred profile

Creator:

Sallenger, Asbury H., Jr. and Holman, Robert A.

Abstract:

Measurements of cross-shore flow were made across the surf zone during a storm as a nearshore bar became better developed and migrated offshore. Measured infragravity band spectra were compared to synthetic spectra calculated numerically over the natural barred profile assuming a white run-up spectrum of leaky mode or high-mode edge...

Shear instabilities of the mean longshore current : 1. theory

Creator:

Bowen, A. J. and Holman, Robert A.

Abstract:

A new class of nearshore waves based on the shear instability of a steady longshore current is discussed. The dynamics depend on the conservation of potential vorticity but with the background vorticity field, traditionally the role of Coriolis in larger scale flows, supplied by the shear structure of the longshore...

Wave energy saturation on a natural beach of variable slope

Creator:

Sallenger, Asbury H. Jr. and Holman, Robert A.

Abstract:

Time series of flow were measured across the inner surf zone during a storm. These data were used to quantify the dependence of wave height (transformed from measured flow) and velocity on local slope and depth. Similar to previous studies, as incident waves broke and propagated into the surf zone,...

Quantification of sand bar morphology : a video technique based on wave dissipation

Creator:

Lippmann, T. C. and Holman, Robert A.

Abstract:

A technique is presented to remotely measure the scales and morphology of natural sandbars based on the preferential dissipation of wind waves and swell over the crests of the bar. Photographic or video images are recorded and statistical uncertainties associated with incident wave height modulations removed by averaging (time exposures)....
