Attenuation of Wave Characteristics Following Shore-Breaking on Longshore Sand Bars. Beaches and Shores Technical and Design Memorandum No. 84-3

摘要

The work presents a numerical description of littoral wave mechanics due to shore-breaking induced by the presence of submerged longshore sand bars, and the expected characteristics of reformed waves (i.e., height, period and length) following bar-breaking, should wave reformation be possible. It provides the basic support methodology required in the development of a multiple shore-breaking wave transformation model described in subsequent work.This work presents a numerical solution for the prediction of wave height behavior during the littoral wave process of shore-breaking. It is basic support methodology required in the development of a multiple shore-breaking wave transformation model described in subsequent work.
