Wave Boundary Layer Processes Over an Irregular Bottom

Abstract

The broad long-term goal of this research is to extend understanding of wave processes over a very rough boundary, specifically that presented by a coral reef. From this understanding we aim to develop models that account for the effects of roughness on wave dissipation, sediment transport and biophysical interactions.
