Hydrodynamics of the Nearshore

Abstract

The goal of this project is to predict the wave-induced nearshore circulation and the low frequency motions that exist near shorelines. Two aspects of this hydrodynamic system are of particular interest: rip currents on barred shorelines and the analysis of edge wave and shear wave motions.
