Swash Zone Dynamics: Modeling and Data Analysis

Abstract

The goals of the work are to develop improved predictive capability for non-linear time-dependent dynamics in the swash zone. The work involves numerical computations, comparison with field and laboratory results, and theoretical analysis. The focus of the project is to quantify net onshore-offshore swash zone properties from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) experiments and to compare model predictions with field and laboratory data to evaluate theoretical models of swash dynamics.
