The Effects of Offshore Wave Energy Flux and Longshore Current Velocity on Medium-Term Shoreline Change at Hasaki, Japan

Tests were made in CERC's Shore Processes Test Basin witlt wayes approaching the toe of a test beach at a 30-degree angle Beach material was quartz sand with median diameter of 0 22 millimeter which, in most tests, was molded to a 1 on 10 slope before starting a test Long crested waves generated in a constant depth of 2 33 feet traveled over the beach, shoaled and were refracted before breaking near the shoreline The breaking action caused the sand to be transported along the shore in the direction of the longshore component of the wave energy flux Transport rates of 2 to 170 cubic yards per day were measured, with the lower rate within the range of laboratory rates reported by Savage^and the higher rate comparable to field rates reported by Watts^for South Lake Worth Inlet, Florida Analysis includes correlation of the measured rates to the longshore wave energy flux, and in some tests, to the longshore current Transport rates, defined by visual fit curve of the data, are about 3 times the rates indicated by the CERC TR-4 design curve for a longshore energy range of 0 016 to 0 760 millions of foot pounds per foot of shore per day.

Lokasi Penelitian dilakukan di teluk Pelabuhan Ratu dan Teluk Ciletuh, Kabupaten Sukabumi, Provinsi Jawa Barat. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik pantai dan hubungannya dengan akrasi dan abrasi berdasarkan energi flux. Metode penelitian terdiri dari penentuan posisi, karakteristik pantai, pengambilan sampel sedimen pantai, dan analisis gelombang. Proses abrasi dan akrasi di daerah penelitian erat kaitannya dengan besar kecilnya energi gelombang. Energi gelombang merupakan salah satu komponen dari arus sejajar pantai. Berdasarkan karakteristik pantai, tipe pantai terdiri dari : (1) Daerah perbukitan terjal, (2) Daerah perbukitan bergelombang, dan (3) Daerah dataran rendah. Analisis energi flux gelombang menunjukkan bahwa proses abrasi terjadi dititik tinjau 2 ke 3, 4 ke 5, 6 ke 8, 10 ke 11, 14 ke 15, dan 16 ke 17, sedangkan proses akrasi terjadi di titik tinjau 3 ke 4, 5 ke 6, 8 ke 10, 11 ke 13, 15 ke 16, 17 ke 18, dan 20 ke 21.Kata Kunci: Akrasi, abrasi, karakteristik pantai, energi flux, Pantai Pelabuhan Ratu. Location of the study at Pelabuhan Ratu and Ciletuh bays, Sukabumi of West Java Province. The aim of study is to map the coastal charectristics in relation to accretion and abrasion processes based on wave energy flux. The method consists of navigation, coastal characteristics, coastal sediments samples and wave analyses. The abrasion and accresion processes are closely related to how big the wave energy. Wave energy is one of longshore current components. Based on the coastal characteristics, the coastal types can be divided into : (1) steep hills (2) undulating hills, and (3) lowland. Wave energy flux shows that abrasion processes occur from the point of 2 to 3, 4 to 5, 6 to 8, 10 to 11, 14 to 15, and 16 to 17, while for accretion processes occur from the point of 3 to 4, 5 to 6, 8 to 10, 11 to 13, 15 to 16, 17 to 18, and 20 to 21.

Wave Energy Flux

In the context of wave resource assessment, the description of wave climate is usually confined to significant wave height and energy period. However, the accurate joint description of both linear and directional wave energy characteristics is essential for the proper and detailed optimization of wave energy converters. In this work, the joint probabilistic description of wave energy flux and wave direction is performed and evaluated. Parametric univariate models are implemented for the description of wave energy flux and wave direction. For wave energy flux, conventional, and mixture distributions are examined while for wave direction proven and efficient finite mixtures of von Mises distributions are used. The bivariate modelling is based on the implementation of the Johnson–Wehrly model. The examined models are applied on long-term measured wave data at three offshore locations in Greece and hindcast numerical wave model data at three locations in the western Mediterranean, the North Sea, and the North Atlantic Ocean. A global criterion that combines five individual goodness-of-fit criteria into a single expression is used to evaluate the performance of bivariate models. From the optimum bivariate model, the expected wave energy flux as function of wave direction and the distribution of wave energy flux for the mean and most probable wave directions are also obtained.

AbstractIntraseasonal waves in the tropical Atlantic Ocean have been found to carry prominent energy that affects interannual variability of zonal currents. This study investigates energy transfer and interaction of wind-driven intraseasonal waves using single-layer model experiments. Three sets of wind stress forcing at intraseasonal periods of around 30 days, 50 days and 80 days with a realistic horizontal distribution are employed separately to excite the second baroclinic mode in the tropical Atlantic. A unified scheme for calculating the energy flux, previously approximated and used for the diagnosis of annual Kelvin and Rossby waves, is utilized in the present study in its original form for intraseasonal waves. Zonal velocity anomalies by Kelvin waves dominate the 80-day scenario. Meridional velocity anomalies by Yanai waves dominate the 30-day scenario. In the 50-day scenario, the two waves have comparable magnitudes. The horizontal distribution of wave energy flux is revealed. In the 30-day and 50-day scenarios, a zonally alternating distribution of cross-equatorial wave energy flux is found. By checking an analytical solution excluding Kelvin waves, we confirm that the cross-equatorial flux is caused by the meridional transport of geopotential at the equator. This is attributed to the combination of Kelvin and Yanai waves and leads to the asymmetric distribution of wave energy in the central basin. Coastally-trapped Kelvin waves along the African coast are identified by along-shore energy flux. In the north, the bend of the Guinea coast leads the flux back to the equatorial basin. In the south, the Kelvin waves strengthened by local wind transfer the energy from the equatorial to Angolan regions.

Definition Of

AbstractLonguet-Higgins in 1964 first pointed out that the Rossby wave energy flux as defined by the pressure work is not the same as that defined by the group velocity. The two definitions provide answers that differ by a nondivergent vector. Longuet-Higgins suggested that the problem arose from ambiguity in the definition of energy flux, which only impacts the energy equation through its divergence. Numerous authors have addressed this issue from various perspectives, and we offer one more approach that we feel is more succinct than previous ones, both mathematically and conceptually. We follow the work described by Cai and Huang in 2013 in concluding that there is no need to invoke the ambiguity offered by Longuet-Higgins. By working directly from the shallow-water equations (as opposed to the more involved quasigeostrophic treatment of Cai and Huang), we provide a concise derivation of the nondivergent pressure work and demonstrate that the two energy flux definitions are equivalent when only the divergent part of the pressure work is considered. The difference vector comes from the nondivergent part of the geostrophic pressure work, and the familiar westward component of the Rossby wave group velocity comes from the divergent part of the geostrophic pressure work. In a broadband wave field, the expression for energy flux in terms of a single group velocity is no longer meaningful, but the expression for energy flux in terms of the divergent pressure work is still valid.
