Quasi-3D Nearshore Circulation Equations: a CL-Vortex Force Formulation
INTRODUCTION Recently much attention has been paid to different formulations of surface wave force in wave-driven ocean and coastal circulations (e.g., McWilliams et al., 2004, Mellor, 2003, Smith, 2006 and others). Basically, the analytical expressions for surface wave force and wave-current interaction can be classified into two types. One is the classical wave 'radiation stress' concept pres...
متن کاملAn unsteady wave driver for narrowbanded waves: modeling nearshore circulation driven by wave groups
In this paper, we derive an unsteady refraction–diffraction model for narrowbanded water waves for use in computing coupled wave–current motion in the nearshore. The end result is a variable coefficient, nonlinear Schrödinger-type wave driver (describing the envelope of narrow-banded incident waves) coupled to forced nonlinear shallow water equations (describing steady or unsteady mean flows dr...
متن کاملWave-current interaction in nearshore shear instability analyzed with a vortex force formalism
[1] We examine wave-current interactions in littoral current shear instabilities above a single-barred beach using a fully coupled wave and barotropic current model based on the multiscale asymptotic theory derived by McWilliams et al. (2004). This Eulerian waveaveraged model captures wave effects on currents (WEC) in a manner that leads to simple interpretations. The dynamically conservative W...
متن کاملWave Breaking and Wave Driven Flow in the Nearshore
Understanding wave dissipation in the nearshore is approached through modeling of field observations obtained across a variety of beach profiles and under a wide range of wave conditions. Wave breaking data are obtained remotely from video recordings of the surf zone, and image processing techniques subsequently used to detect and quantify the position and time of wave breaking occurrences over...
متن کاملThe Wave-Driven Ocean Circulation
Oceanic surface gravity waves have a mean Lagrangian motion, the Stokes drift. The dynamics of winddriven, basin-scale oceanic currents in the presence of Stokes drift are modified by the addition of so-called vortex forces and wave-induced material advection, as well by wave-averaged effects in the surface boundary conditions for the dynamic pressure, sea level, and vertical velocity. Some the...
