Simulation of Wave-Current Interaction Using Novel, Coupled Non-Phase and Phase Resolving Wave and Current Models

The long term goals of this project are to be able to predict nearshore waves, currents, and sediment transport accurately from >20m water depth through to the shoreline. We would like to accomplish this over as large an area as possible; on the order of tens of km, and to resolve all individual waves. Time periods simulated would be of order hours to days at maximum. We would also like to be able to directly couple these phase-resolving models with non-phase resolving models for integration into larger scale dynamics.
