Abstract:

This report represents a review and conclusion of several studies conducted at the University of Delaware with the aim of providing numerical model for calculating nearshore wave-induces currents and mean water level fluctuations. The purpose of constructing a numerical model rests on the need to extend our predictive capabilities into situations which lie beyond the scope of analytic methods. In the end, all numerical models, as well as analytical formulations, are limited in scope by the simplifying assumptions incorporated in their theoretical framework; in this regard, the present models represent an attempt to extend present analytic treatments to the case of a complex topography in two dimensions. The models do not consider the associated sediment transport problem, although this capability can be added. Also, the models require that the incident wave field be regarded as monochromatic, or, after some model modifications, narrow banded enough to be represented as a modulated wave train at a single carrier frequency.
