Abstract:
A weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) method is used to simulate the nearshore flow hydrodynamics. The wave induced dispersion and diffusion are determined for monochromatic waves with significant wave height of 0.12 m and the wave period of 1.2 sec (Sop=5%) based on WCSPH wave dynamics. The hydrodynamics of WCSPH model are compared to the laboratory results obtained from series of LDA measurements. The overall mixing coefficients across the nearshore are determined from WCSPH hydrodynamics. The mixing coefficients obtained are compared with the values determined from a series of fluorometric studies performed in a large-scale facility in DHI, Denmark. The results show that the wave profiles are in good agreement with the experimental data. The WCSPH model is proven to be well capable of estimating the dispersion across the nearshore.

Abstract:
This paper presents a numerical model of nearshore currents due to irregular waves. The radiation stress is estimated by a current-depth refraction model for irregular waves, in which the energy dissipation due to wave breaking is modeled through the use of a saturated frequency spectrum in shallow water. The model is in reasonable agreement with measured wave height, mean water level variation and observed nearshore current patterns. Next, the model is applied to the computation of wave transformation and nearshore currents on a uniformly sloping beach and on model topographies with complicated contour lines. Comparison with the results based on a regular wave model shows that wave irregularity has a smoothing effect on cross-shore distributions of wave height, mean water level variation and longshore currents, but that it does not have much effect on nearshore current patterns.

Abstract:
Studies of nearshore circulation were initiated at Scripps Institution during World War II. A method of estimating the velocity of longshore currents from known wave conditions on straight beaches with parallel contours was devised by Munk and Traylor (1945) and later revised by Putnam, Munk and Traylor (1949). Their methods were based on energy and momentum considerations which were applied to the following two types of observations: (1) field observations of longshore currents along the straight beach at Oceanside, California made by Munk and Traylor (1945), and (2) laboratory measurements conducted at the Department of Engineering, University of California.

Abstract:
Tsunami forces on critical coastal structures were reanalyzed by combining laboratory experiments and numerical tsunami simulation, focusing on the formation of breaking bores and their large force to structures. Laboratory experiments demonstrated that nearshore tsunami is likely to form a breaking bore when the slope of the incident tsunami front is steep and the nearshore bed slope is mild. The impulsive pressure to coastal structures was found to increase with the steepness of the tsunami front. Based on these results, together with numerical simulation of tsunami, the formation of bores was discussed in relation to coastal cliff topography in Fukushima Prefecture.

Abstract:
A numerical model of wave-Induced nearshore currents taking into account the finite amplitude effect is developed, with a cnoidal wave theory used for the estimation of wave characteristics. The model is applied to the computation of wave transformation and nearshore currents on uniformly sloping beaches and on two-dimensional model topographies. The comparison with the results obtained by a linear model shows that wave nonlinearity has a strong influence on wave transformation in shoaling water and in the surf zone and on the strength of nearshore circulation, but that it does not have much effect on the longshore current profile. Moreover, the validity of the present model is supported by the quantitative agreement with the experiment for wave height variations, and the qualitative correspondence with the experiment for mean water level variation and longshore currents and the observation for nearshore currents.

Abstract:
In this presentation, we examine 3-D structure of nearshore circulation driven by short-crested wave breaking using the 3-D Smooth Particle Hydrodynamic model, GPUSPH (Hérault et al., 2010). The alongshore variation of incident wave field has been imposed by using the method of intersecting wave trains proposed by Dalrymple (1975). We use the 3-D vortex force formalism to analyze the various forcing mechanisms of the observed circulation. Of particular interest is the relative importance of the vortex force compared with the other wave-averaged forces. The accuracy of the depth-averaged vortex force based on the formulation of Smith [2006] is also examined.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the meshless numerical method Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and its application to water waves and nearshore circulation. In particularly we focus on an implementation of the model on the graphics processing unit (GPU) of computers, which permits low-cost supercomputing capabilities for certain types of computational problems. The implementation here runs on Nvidia graphics cards, from off-the-shelf laptops to the top-of-line Tesla cards for workstations with their current 480 massively parallel streaming processors. Here we apply the model to breaking waves and nearshore circulation, demonstrating that SPH can model changes in wave properties due to shoaling, refraction, and diffraction and wave-current interaction; as well as nonlinear phenomena such as harmonic generation, and, by using wave-period averaged quantities, such aspects of nearshore circulation as wave set-up, longshore currents, rip currents, and nearshore circulation gyres.

The objective of this dissertation is to develop numerical models and compare their predictions with data acquired during the DUCK94 experiment in order to improve our physical understanding of the hydrodynamic processes governing the vertical and cross shore distributions of both longshore and cross shore currents over a barred beach. The vertical structure of the mean longshore current is found to be well described by a logarithmic profile and a relationship between bed shear stress and bottom roughness, including the influence of ripples and mega-ripples, was also found. The vertical structure of the mean cross shore current (undertow) is modeled using an eddy viscosity closure scheme to solve for the turbulent shear stress and includes contributions from breaking wave rollers. These models of the vertical profiles of longshore and cross shore mean currents are combined to formulate a quasi three dimensional model to describe the cross shore distribution of the longshore current. This model includes turbulent mixing due to the cross shore advection of mean momentum of the longshore current by the mean cross shore current and contributions from wave rollers

Abstract:
The nearshore current field, defined here as the residual horizontal flow after averaging over the incident wave period, exhibits variability at a range of time and space scales. Some of the variable currents are low frequency gravity wave motions. However, variable, rotational (in the sense of possessing vertical vorticity) flow can also exist as part of the overall nearshore current field. A field and numerical modelling investigation of these variable rotational currents has been carried out. Drifters, which were developed for surfzone use, enabled measurement of the nearshore current structure; the design and testing of these new instruments is described. Two sets of field measurements, using the new drifters and Eulerian instruments were carried out for conditions with swell perpendicular to a plane beach and in strong longshore currents. In the perpendicular swell conditions, an interesting and well-defined feature of the measured trajectories was the development of transient rip currents. Discrete vortices were also observed. In the longshore current case, trajectories with the longshore current displacement removed had complex meandering paths. Lagrangian data were used to make estimates of length scales and dispersion, both of which provide strong evidence that the current field cannot be due to low frequency gravity waves alone. Under the assumption of equipartition of kinetic and potential energy for low frequency gravity waves, Eulerian measurements of velocities and pressure show significant energy due to non-divergent, rotational flow in both the perpendicular swell and longshore current case. A numerical model that can simulate horizontal flow with a directionally spread, random wave field incident on a plane beach was implemented. The model developed transient rip currents that are qualitatively very similar to those seen in the drifter trajectories from the field. The number and intensity of rip currents in the model depended on the beach slope and incident wave spectra. The energy content and cross-shore flux (and hence transport of material) of the rotational current flow component in the simulated flow fields is comparable to that due to low frequency gravity waves. The modelling also provided some evidence that there may be universal characteristics of the rotational currents. The field results and modelling show that variable rotational currents are ubiquitous in the field even when longshore currents and hence shear waves are not present. The term “infragravity turbulence” is suggested to describe the general class of nearshore hydrodynamics not directly associated with shear waves, which is largely disorganised, but contains well defined features such as transient rips currents and large scale horizontal vortices. The results have important implications in the understanding of the transport of material, including sediment, biological material, pollution, and sometimes bathers, in the nearshore zone.

Abstract:
Analytical, experimental and computational studies were carried out to investigate the mixing and dispersion of neutrally buoyant tracer in the nearshore region due to the effects of waves and currents. The main objective of this study was to quantify the mixing processes in the nearshore region. Theoretical approaches were developed to quantify the contribution of diffusive and dispersive mixing in the nearshore due to wave activity. An analytical model was developed to quantify the diffusive and dispersive mixing mechanisms based on mathematical solutions for the advection-diffusion equation. Mixing under the combined effects of waves and currents were studied through measurement of hydrodynamic and fluorometric tracing experiments from a largescale facility at the Danish Hydraulic Institute, Denmark. The experiments were conducted in a shallow water basin for a range of hydrodynamic conditions covering wave steepness between 2 – 5%. Data from detailed measurements were used to examine the spreading of a solute inside the surf zone and seawards of the breaker region. The overall depth-averaged on-offshore mixing coefficient obtained from the hydrodynamic experimental studies were compared to the mixing coefficients determined from the tracer measurements. It was shown that inside the surfzone, the shear dispersion is the dominant mixing factor, which is almost an order of magnitude greater than the diffusive mixing. The location of the breaker point and the wave height across the nearshore is shown to be important for determining the mixing coefficient. Further detailed spatial and temporal variations of flow hydrodynamics across the nearshore were investigated through a series of laboratory experiments with the use of Particle Image Velocimetry. The experiments were undertaken in a dedicate wave flume at the University of Warwick. Through analysis of the PIV data, new information on the spatial variation of diffusion and dispersion in the shallow water column of the nearshore region was obtained. Flow visualisation of the PIV results identified three distinct hydrodynamic processes during the bore, undertow and the bore/undertow interaction, which were the primary mixing mechanisms in the nearshore region. The temporal variation of dispersion coefficient shows that intense shearing mechanisms exist during wave bore/undertow interactions. The numerical capabilities of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, a Lagrangian, meshless, particle-based method in modelling the nearshore hydrodynamics were explored in this study. The numerical data was used to quantify the mixing processes. By using suitable estimates of turbulent diffusion and cross-shore wave-induced velocity, a theoretical approximation of the overall mixing within the surfzone and seaward of the breaker region can be obtained. A comparison between the theoretical model and previous laboratory and field studies on the nearshore mixing suggests that the mixing is proportional to wave height (H1.5). It is demonstrated that inside the surfzone, the mixing is dominated by the vertical structure of the cross-shore velocity. The pioneering Royal society works of Svendsen & Putrevu (1994) identified the temporally-averaged dispersion, as a function of distance from the shore. Using a combination of experimental, mathematical and numerical formulations, this study has identified and quantified for the first time, the temporal and spatial dispersive mixing processes in the nearshore (over the full wave cycle), within the challenging and complex environment of the surf zone. It has been shown that the cross-shore circulation provides lateral mixing that exceeds that of the turbulence by an order of magnitude inside the surfzone. The turbulence still remains an essential part of the flow since it is the primary driver which through the vertical mixing is responsible for defining the vertical velocity profiles, which then determine strength of the dispersion.

Abstract:
The interaction of waves and currents in the near-shore zone is an area of continuing research where interest derives in particular as a result of various environmental effects from natural phenomena such as storm surges and tsunamis. On time scales longer than that of an individual wave it is necessary to properly evaluate the interaction between waves and currents, using a consistent formulation of mass, momentum and energy within the water column. We describe the formulation of equations describing the mean current flow, driven by the radiation stress field of the waves, an equation for the mean conservation of mass, together with equations describing the conservation of wave action and the kinematics of the averaged wave field. The near-shore zone is often characterized by the presence of breaking waves, and so we develop equations to be used outside the surf zone, based on small-amplitude wave theory, and another set of equations to be used inside the surf zone, based on an empirical representation of breaking waves. Suitable matching conditions are applied at the boundary between the offshore shoaling zone and the near-shore surf zone. Both sets of equation are obtained by averaging the basic equations over the wave phase. In the shoaling zone, we supplement these equations by a simple model of sediment transport, where the bottom is allowed to move in response to the current field of the breaking waves. We use these basic equation sets to re-evaluate previous studies of wave set-up and longshore currents driven by the radiation stress field of the shoaling waves. In particular we extend previous work based on beach profiles with a linear depth dependence to more general beach profiles, including beaches with a depth dependence which varies quadratically with the onshore coordinate, and to beach profiles which approach a constant depth far offshore. We then turn to a situation where the incoming shoaling waves vary periodically in the alongshore direction, and use our basic equation sets to construct a mean current field which likewise varies periodically in the alongshore direction. The outcome, for our set of typical beach profiles, is a description of rip currents. The last part of the thesis examines .a simple model of sediment transport, induced by breaking waves in the surf zone. We show that the previous solutions for wave set-up and longshore currents now become time-dependent as the nearshore zone is eroded by the waves.

Abstract:
In this thesis, nonlinear interactions of waves and currents with structures in nearshore environments are investigated. The emphasis of the research is to model the encountered multiple scales of hydrodynamics (e. g. monochromatic waves and three-dimensional currents) in a numerically efficient and accurate way on a beach and around a structure in the shallow coastal region. The radiation stress and mass flux have been analytically derived by inclusion of higher-order surface elevations. The Boussinesq-type model COULWAVE is used to assess the fully nonlinear wave transformation on a beach. The research unveils the essential roles of the Ursell parameter, Irribarren number and wave steepness described by the local wave height, wave length and bottom slope. Based on the numerical simulations, the radiation stress and the mass flux are statistically formulated. The study has shown that the importance of wave nonlinearity in wave-induced currents and mean water level. The nonlinear transformations of wave profiles produce lower radiation stress and mass flux than linear waves. Case studies suggest the nonlinear formulations produce accurate predictions for mean water levels and current profiles both inside and outside the surf zone on a beach. The new formulations also incorporated in the improved SHORECIRC model to predict current circulation in the vicinity of one or more shore-parallel coastal structures. The simulation accuracies are demonstrated by comparisons to the experimental data from the G8 Coastal Morphodynamics Programme. The model successfully reproduces a large eddy in the region sheltered by a structure. By inclusion of nonlinear integrated wave properties, the predictions of mean water levels and currents have been greatly improved. Analytical, numerical and experimental investigation of oblique wave transmission at low-crested structures is also presented. 7be two-dimensional transmission equation is constructed and validated against the laboratory data of the EU-sponsored project, DELOS. The roles of wave-breaking, nonlinearity, currents and set-up in determining the wave transmission are demonstrated. Wave nonlinearity and wave-induced currents lengthen wave-propagating distance compared to the normal waves, and lead to less transmission on the leeside of a smooth breakwater. Due to the decreased wave amplitudes and mean wave periods after transmission, the phase velocities slow down and cause the change of mean wave direction on the transmission side.

The non-structural triangular elements are used to construct the high-precision nearshore terrain to accurately simulate the tidal and tidal conditions. Yearly measured tidal current data. Have a deeper understanding of the tidal currents in the Majishan sea area of Zhoushan. The results show that the Majishan sea area of Zhoushan belongs to regular shallow sea currents dominated by recurrent currents. In the actual measurement, the speed of the rising and falling tides varies, and the maximum and average flow speeds are both the high tide is greater than the medium tide and the small tide. The tidal changes are mainly controlled by the forward waves of the East China Sea, and the direction of the current is basically the same as the direction of the rising and falling tides.

Abstract:
How did the pulp and paper industry—an industry that was intended to solve rather than create environmental problems in the Lake Superior basin—become the source of the region’s greatest pollution problems? As trees grew back on cutover lands, a new industry developed to exploit them. Aquatic pollution from the industry created a new set of pollution challenges that soon dwarfed the conservation problems presented by the lumber industry. Pulp mills and regulators tried to manage pollution from growing industries, but their models did not account for the complexity of nearshore habitats, limnological conditions, bumpy shore bottoms, shoals that catch currents carrying sediments, or fish with minds of their own.

Abstract:
Sea level and wave data at Salalah coast (Oman) were used to simulate nearshore waves and current during the tropical cyclone ARB01 (9 May2002). STWAVE model (Steady State Spectral Wave) was applied for nearshore wave simulation, while M2D model ((Two-Dimensional Depth Averaged circulation model) was used to simulate nearshore current. The results of simulations (taking into account the mutual effects of both current and waves) showed that: The significant wave heights generally decrease from about 6m at the domain boundary to about 1 m close to the coast. The wave heights during the ebb period were higher than that during the flood period by about 1.5m. Along Salalah coast, higher waves were found along the eastern side of the domain. This is because the shielding effect of breakwater, which protect the western part of the coast from high waves. Relatively Strong current with values up to 1.5 ms-1 were found in the nearshore region during both ebb and flood periods. The M2D model results also showed cyclonic circulations during these periods which help in the renewal of harbor waters. Generally, the model results showed good agreements with observations in the investigated area.

Abstract:
This US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) special report prepared by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, provides an overview of the current state of practice for nearshore nourishment with dredged sediment. This special report was completed with responses and input from professionals across the dredging and placement teams from each of the USACE Coastal and Great Lakes districts, providing comprehensive overviews of the decision trees these districts utilize in the placement of their dredged sediment. This report describes the general practice of nearshore nourishment, the impediments and concerns faced by nearshore nourishment projects, and the practical methods utilized by the Coastal and Great Lakes districts for their nearshore nourishment projects. Understanding the current state of practice, along with the general and specific impediments the districts face, enables further research in and development of best practices for use across the USACE and better communication of the practice to other stakeholders.
