Abstract

A numerical computation method for a wave field coexisting with a current is presented to study wave-current interaction on a slowly varying bottom topography. Derivation is given for a new set of time-dependent mildslope equations extended to a wave and current coexisting field, which can deal with wave deformation due to combined refraction, diffraction, reflection and breaking as well as to wave-current interaction. Discussion is made on the numerical computation schemes, boundary conditions and breaking conditions. Some examples of the numerical computations are shown for wave and current coexisting fields.
