Wave Induced

Edge wave can be generated by an atmospheric pressure disturbance moving along the shoreline on a sloping beach. A two-dimensional numerical model based on non-linear shallow water equations is established and a set of numerical experiments are conducted to study the edge wave packets evolution in coastal ocean. In light of the analytical solutions by Greenspan, some dominant factors are discussed, such as disturbance spatial size, translation speed, its location and the slope inclination, that influence the generation conditions and evolution process of edge waves. The results indicate on what circumstances significant edge waves will be excited and how long it takes for the wave growth.

The Waves

A moving atmospheric pressure disturbance can induce a system of forced water waves. As predicted by the linear theory, an infinite wave height will be induced when the Froude number Fr=1, which is known as the Proudman resonance. Fr is defined as the ratio between the moving speed of an atmospheric pressure disturbance and the phase velocity of shallow water wave. The Proudman resonance is thought to be one of main mechanisms for the destructive meteotsunami (Monserrat et al., 2006). In this study, the nonlinear shallow water equations are used to describe the waves induced by a moving pressure disturbance, and the impact factors to the maximum water elevation in the case of Fr=1 are discussed.
