Abstract:The effect of currents on the variation of cross-shore bound long waves forced by bichromatic waves over a plane slope was investigated in the laboratory. in still water the growth rate of the shoaling bound long waves over the slope is proportional to h(-5/2) (h is still-water depth). It was found that the opposing current makes the amplitudes of the bound long waves greater than those of still water for all cases. However, the amplitudes of bound long waves in a following current are reduced in the weakly modulated cases but are enhanced in the fully modulated case. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
