| Summary: | breaking waves in the surf zone. The comparisons constant and bottom roughness height was conducted. Discrete Fourier Transform, a quantitative dissipation of turbulence. The first order solution experimental measurements used in this study with a for predicting the turbulent boundary layers under However, since the numerical model did not give importance of the production, diffusion, and indicated that the model would worked well for waves it was concluded that the model would not be suitable layer consistent with the first order wave theory was model was utilized, and in turn a comparison was made model with respect to the specified von KirmØn phases was obtained. A sensitivity analysis of the presented. There were three cases that were considered representation of the solution such as amplitudes and satisfying results seaward of the breaking location, shoaling and breaking waves, an existing numerical shorter period. To investigate the turbulent boundary layer under graphics. to the problem of a wave-induced turbulent boundary used, and the equations for turbulent closure were was compared with experimental results. Using a with a longer period, it did not work well for with different assumptions based on the relative with laboratory measurements. The numerical solution |
