Numerical Experiments of Bottom Stress on Wave Setup

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wave-induced setup increases the mean water level in the surf zone and can be influenced by bottom stress in the presence of ambient current. As the numerical experiment shows, the effects of bottom stress on wave setup are associated with wave conditions. An onshore-directed bottom stress caused by offshore ambient current increase the wave setup and an offshore-directed bottom stress caused by onshore ambient current decrease the wave setup. According to the experiment, it is necessary to calculate wave-induced setup including the bottom stress in the presence of ambient current.
