Integration of Different Wave Forcing Formulations with Nearshore Circulation Models

Wave-induced circulation in general coastal environments is simulated by coupling two widely-used finite-element models, namely, a refraction-diffraction-reflection model based on the elliptic mild-slope equation, and a two-dimensional (depth-averaged) shelf-scale circulation model. Such models yiel...
