Wave-Current Interaction in Coastal Inlets and River Mouths

The wave-driven dynamics of coastal areas are important for circulation and mixing, transport processes, and accessibility by vessels. The long-term goal of this study is to improve our understanding, observational capability, and model representation of wave-current interaction in complex coastal i...

Zusammenfassung:The wave-driven dynamics of coastal areas are important for circulation and mixing, transport processes, and accessibility by vessels. The long-term goal of this study is to improve our understanding, observational capability, and model representation of wave-current interaction in complex coastal inlets, and determine the role of nonlinearity and inhomogeneity on wave statistics in such areas. The original document contains color images. Prepared in collaboration with Theiss Research, La Jolla, CA under grant nos. N00014-10-1-0411, N00014-11-1-0248.
