Simulation of Wave and Current Processes Using Novel, Phase Resolving Models

Abstract

Award Number: N00014-13-1-0123 http://www3.nd.edu/~akenned4/ LONG-TERM GOALSThe long term goals of this project are to be able to predict nearshore waves, currents, and sediment transport accurately from >20m water depth through to the shoreline. We would like to accomplish this over as large an area as possible; on the order of tens of km 2 , and to resolve all individual waves. Time periods simulated would be of order hours to days at maximum. We would also like to be able to directly couple these phase-resolving models with non-phase resolving models for integration into larger scale dynamics.
