Wave-current interaction in water of finite depth
In this thesis, the nonlinear interaction of waves and current in water of finite depth is studied. Wind is not included. In the first part, a 2D theory for the wave effect on a turbulent current over rough or smooth bottom is presented. The logarithmic profile of the basic current is modified by …

Hydrodynamic Characterisation and Wave Current Interaction around Dunnet Head in the Pentland Firth with Implications for Marine Energy Generation
Hydrodynamic Characterisation and Wave-Current Interaction Around Dunnet Head in the Pentland Firth with Implications for Marine Energy Generation<br/>The Pentland Firth in the north of Scotland connects the North Atlantic Ocean to the west with the North Sea to the east. A strong hydraulic …

Dynamics of Langmuir circulation in oceanic surface layers
… large-scale coherent vortex structures driven by wave-current interaction (Langmuir circulation) are responsible for maintaining the oceanic mixed layer. Langmuir circulations dominate the near-surface vertical transport of momentum and density when the characteristic scale for forcing (defined as …

The impact of land reclamation on tidal dynamics and suspended-sediment dynamics in Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao, China
… on suspended-sediment dynamics; 3) the impact of wave-current interaction on suspended-sediment dynamics. Over the past few decades, there has been large-scale land reclamation in Jiaozhou Bay, which inevitably has affected the hydrodynamics and sediment transport in the bay, and thus has …

The interaction of periodic surface gravity waves with slowly varying water currents
The governing equations for interactions between surface gravity wavetrains and slowly-varying water currents are derived and the incorporation of Vocoidal water wave theory into this framework is discussed. The emphasis throughout is on the derivation of the general form of the governing equations …

Shallow sea tidal friction and sediment transport
… aspect of the hydrodynamic and bottom topography interactions within a shallow sea. We investigate causes for the surprising lack of overall motion of the linear sand ridges that lie within the energetic wind-wave and tidal regime of the Southern Bight. There are many problems associated with the …

Coupling Of Hydrodynamic And Wave Models For Storm Tide Simulations: A Case Study For Hurricane Floyd (1999)
… River model and the coupling of hydrodynamic and wave models for the simulation of storm tides. The hydrodynamic model employed for calculating tides and surges is ADCIRC-2DDI (ADvanced CIRCulation Model for Shelves, Coasts and Estuaries, Two-Dimensional Depth Integrated) developed by Luettich et …

3-D Modeling of Nearshore Circulation Using ROMS-SWAN: Model Upgrades and Evaluation
… for shallow water applications by including wave induced radiation stresses provided through coupling with a wave propagation model (e.g., SWAN, REF/DIF). The coupled model has been applied to surf zone applications like oblique incidence of waves on a planar beach, rip current formation in …

Hydrodynamics, sediment transport and morphodynamics at inlets and river mouths: a numerical investigation
… ecological and societal values. However, our current predictive capability on the hydrodynamics, sediment delivery and morphological evolution of inlets and river mouths remains qualitative. The overarching goal of this study is to enhance the physical understanding and model development of …
