Computation of Longshore Energy Flux Using LEO Current Observations.

Abstract

A computational technique is presented for the longshore energy flux factor, P sub ls, using current observations from the Littoral Environment Observation (LEO) program. Chapter 4 of the Shore Protection Manual (SPM) gives various equations for P sub ls as a function of wave height, wave period, and breaking wave angle. The present report details how P sub ls can be calculated using longshore current and breaking wave height data only. An example problem is given for this method. (Author)
