Hierarchical Models of the Nearshore Complex System

Abstract

The long-term goal of this research is to develop and investigate abstracted models that are consistent with the constraints owing to the nonlinear, dissipative and open nature of the nearshore. Model development takes place within the framework of the nearshore as a hierarchical complex system wherein the behavior of the emerging form is related to a restricted number of variables that dominate the faster scale dynamics of the constituents.
