Prediction of the Low Frequency Wave Field on Open Coastal Beaches

Abstract

The long-term goal of this study is to arrive at a predictive understanding of the time varying circulation in the nearshore region given only information about the incident wave field and bottom bathymetry. Predictions should include information about the kinematics of low frequency motions (their wavenumbers and frequencies) as well as information about their dynamics (energetics).
