LAGRANGIAN DRIFTER MODELLING OF AN EXPERIMENTAL RIP CURRENT

[摘要] A non-uniform alongshore wave forcing on an experimental uneven mobile bathymetry create mean circulation on a rip channel. A 2D numerical hydrodynamic model that integrates the non-linear shallow-water equations in a shock-capturing finite-volume framework is used to validate the nearshore circulation, and drifters displacement.
