Abstract:Model tests and numerical calculation of longshore currents and wave heights produced by irregular waves on two beaches with slopes of 1: 100 and 1: 40 are studied. The cross-shore distributions of longshore current velocities and wave heights are given and the influences of wave heights, wave periods, and beach slopes on longshore currents are discussed. The discussion is also made on the influences of different eddy viscosity coefficients on the numerical results of longshore current velocities.
