Wave Spectrum Changes on Sloped Beach
Publication: Journal of the Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Division
Volume 108, Issue 1
Abstract
A comparison of all the different approaches to analyze the problem of wave spectrum change on a sloped beach is presented. It is shown how the heuristic, theoretical and numerical formulations compare or differ. It is shown that the transformation of a deep water directional spectrum into a shallow water directional spectrum can be done with little more effort than computing a one-dimensional spectrum by development of an inverse direction function only.
