Nearshore hydrodynamic model comparisons and predictions of bathymetric evolution

Creator:

Lescinski, Jamie M.

Abstract:

The surf zone exhibits large energetic signals from wave shoaling and subsequent dissipation due to breaking, forcing circulation. The bathymetry responds to the wave and wave-induced circulation with the growth, transport, and destruction of large scale bathymetric features, such as mega ripples and sand bars. There is an obvious fluctuation...

An investigation on the modeling of wave field transformation and shoreline morphology near steep bathymetric features

Creator:

Michalsen, David R.

Abstract:

Steep bathymetric anomalies in the beach profile, such as offshore borrow pits, submerged breakwaters, and nearshore canyons can significantly transform the wave climate through the effects of refraction, diffraction, and reflection. When located in the nearshore region the modified wave climate can also substantially change the location of breaking and...
