Nearshore Wave Processes

Abstract

The long-term goals are to predict the wave-induced three-dimensional velocity field and induced sediment transport over arbitrary bathymetry in the nearshore given the offshore wave conditions. Objectives: Predict the vertical distributions of velocity and stress, and associated sediment transport and morphologic changes due to waves and currents in the nearshore, including breaking waves.
