✦ Synopsis
Atwo-dunens * ional (horizontal plane) coastal and estuarine region model, capable of predicting the combined effects of gravity surface shallow-water waves (shoaling, refraction, diffraction. reflection and brmling). and steady currents, is described and numerical results are compared with those obtained experimentally.
Two series of observations within a wave flume and a combined wave-current facility were developed. In the first case, the wave was gcnmted via a hinged paddle located within a deepened section at one end of the channel, as, in the second case, the wave propagating with or against the current was generated by a plunger-type wavemaker. the re-circulating current was introduced via one passing tank connected to a centrihgal pump.
Several comparisons for a number of 1D situations and one 2 0 horizontal plane case are presented.
