A mathematical model of uniform longshore currents and the comparison with laboratory data

This report describes a mathematical model for uniform longshore currents and laboratory experiments on these currents, as also the comparison of theory and experiment. The longshore driving force is modeled taking into account the physical fact that dissipation of wave energy takes place shoreward of the plunge instead of in the whole surf zone...

The proper longshore current in a wave basin

This report describes the investigation into a method how to obtain the proper longshore current in a wave basin. In this method the basin geometry is optimized and the proper recirculation flow through openings in the wave guides is determined by minimizing the circulation flow between the wave guides. Using different wave fields, two beach...
