Documentation of nearshore interactive wave - current - topography change models
This report is to document the programs my colleague and I developed for computingtime-dependent nearshore hydrographic changes including beach profile responses.The time scale of the model is suitable for storm events to seasonalchanges, currently up to one year period. The model is very stable and is capableof handling complicated topographies including inlets and irregularly-shapedstructures such as curved jetties and breakwaters.The purpose of three-dimensional models is to predict the change of bottomtopography from the spatial distribution of the sediment transport rates, which areevaluated from the nearshore wave and current fields computed point by point insmall areas defined by a horizontal grid placed over the region of interest. Modelsof 3-D beach topography change require much fewer idealizations than do the linemodels. (Document has 43 pages.)
