Program for Comparison of Wave Theories for Waves Over Cohesive Sediments
Abstract
The need to protect restore, and create wetlands in places such as coastal Louisiana has forced wetland scientists to reevaluate the standard models used for predicting waves, currents, shear forces, and soil behavior based on adaptability to the shallow, complexly connected and muddy marshes, ponds, waterways, and embayments. A program to compare various theoretical models for predicting surface wave propagation over cohesive bottom sediments is presented here. The program provides a tool for coastal scientists and engineers to better understand the interaction of waves and muddy bottom sediments.
