Variations of Orbital Velocity and Undertow in the Nearshore Zone
Publication: Coastal Engineering 2000
Abstract
A flow model is developed to predict the fluid velocity in the nearshore zone. The model is a combination of 1-D horizontal wave model with 1-D vertical model. A new combination is suggested at the trough level. A comparison with the experimental data is made to check the validity of the flow model. The model is used to study the orbital velocity variation for spilling and plunging breakers.
