Waves, Currents, & Bathymetric Evolution Near Inlets

Abstract

The primary objective of our studies in FY13 was to develop, test, and improve models for nearshore processes near and within inlet channels. In addition, we continued analysis of our Skagit tidal flats measurements, compared observations with numerical simulations of waves propagating across the shallow, muddy, Louisiana continental shelf, estimated surfzone vorticity and short-crested breaking waves (with David Clark), and investigated the evolution of rip currents and the associated bathymetric channels.
