Boussinesq modeling of longshore currents
[1] A time domain Boussinesq model for nearshore hydrodynamics is improved to obtain the conservation of vertical vorticity correct to second order and extended for use on an open coast using longshore periodic boundary conditions. The model is utilized to simulate surface waves and longshore currents under laboratory and field conditions. Satisfactory agreement is found between numerical resul...
متن کاملRadar Measurement of Waves and Currents in the Nearshore Zone
The objectives of this effort are to determine the extent to which Doppler radar techniques can be exploited for both qualitative and quantitative nearshore measurement applications. Of particular interest are estimates of surf zone location, extent, surface currents, and wave parameters. To date, optical (video) techniques have been the primary remote sensing technology for these applications....
متن کاملCurrents connecting communities: nearshore community similarity and ocean circulation.
Understanding the mechanisms that create spatial heterogeneity in species distributions is fundamental to ecology. For nearshore marine systems, most species have a pelagic larval stage where dispersal is strongly influenced by patterns of ocean circulation. Concomitantly, nearshore habitats and the local environment are also influenced by ocean circulation. Because of the shared dependence on ...
متن کاملEstimation of Nearshore Tidal Currents on Nonsmooth Continental Shelves
The theory of Battisti and Clarke (1982) to calculate analytically barotropic tidal currents across 'smooth' continental margin topography is shown to be valid near shore on 'nonsmooth' continental shelves. The theory includes longshore gradients and friction and produces formulae easily evaluated with coastal sea level data. The tidal currents across three such shelves (West Florida, south of ...
متن کاملModel for the Computation of Time-Steady Nearshore Currents
BACKGROUND: Under the assumptions of longshore uniformity, monochromatic and unidirectional waves, one-dimensional (1-D) models have predicted the steady depth-integrated longshore current with reasonable accuracy in the regions of intense breaking (e.g., Bowen 1969; Longuet-Higgins 1970; Kraus and Larsen 1991). The addition of random wave fields with directional spread (Battjes 1974; Thornton ...
