Rip currents are narrow and concentrated seaward-directed flows that extend from close to
the shoreline, through the surf zone, and varying distances beyond. Rip currents are …

Rip currents are fast-moving flows, traveling “outward almost at right angles to the shore”,
creating a natural hazard for beachgoers, who suddenly find themselves in deep water …

A computational procedure has been developed for simulating non-hydrostatic, free-surface,
rotational flows in one and two horizontal dimensions. Its implementation in the publicly …

In the present work, the OpenFOAM® newly developed wave generation and active
absorption boundary condition presented in the companion paper (Higuera et al., submitted …

The coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport modeling system (COAWST)
enables simulations that integrate oceanic, atmospheric, wave and morphological …

Rip currents are shore-normal, narrow, seaward-flowing currents that originate within surf
zone, extend seaward of the breaking region (rip head), and can obtain relatively high …

The response of the circulation of a coral reef system in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, to incident
wave forcing was investigated using field data collected during a 10-month experiment …

Wave-dominated sandy beaches are highly valued by societies and are amongst the world's
most energetic and dynamic environments. On wave-dominated beaches with unlimited …

The nearshore wave action at many barrier reefs or reef atolls can generate wave setup and
drive a 2DH reef-lagoon-channel circulation. Previous laboratory studies on such reef …

Hidden and perilous rip currents are one of the primary factors leading to drownings of
beach swimmers. By identifying the coastal areas with the highest likelihood of generating …
