  • 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...

  • 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...
