The Effects of Wave-current Interactions on Coastal Circulation Modelling Speaker: Prof. Xiao Hua WANG, Professor, The Sino-Australian Research Consortium for Coastal Management, School of Science, The University of New South Wales Date: 02/12/2022 (Friday) Time: 11:00 - 12:00 Language: English Venue: N21-5/F Exhibition Hall (N21-5007) Abstract: Understanding the wave-current interactions (WCI) is crucial to accurate modelling of wave, tides and storm surge in the coastal oceans. In this talk, I will use case studies to show WCI can greatly modify sea level and wave height via tide-induced water level changes and current advection/refraction of wave energy. More specifically, model results show that WCI affects wave set-up in the surf zone due to a balance between cross-shore pressure gradient and wave radiations stress […]
