Modeling Infragravity Waves During NCEX

Abstract

The long-term goal is to develop a morphodynamic modeling capability on the time-scale of months (with a resolution of seconds) and a spatial scale of kilometers (with a resolution of meters) that can be used the predict the beach response (both hydrodynamics and beach-changes) due to changes in wave and flow conditions with specific attention for low-frequency motions. The objective of the present project is to examine the effects of offshore edge wave reflections and infragravity wave trapping on the nearshore infragravity wave climate using 2D numerical models that allow for the spatial variability of (infragravity) waves.
