DISTRIBUTION OF UNDERTOW AND LONG-WAVE COMPONENT VELOCITY DUE TO RANDOM WAVES. (1992). Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1(23). https://doi.org/10.9753/icce.v23.%p

Abstract

Laboratory measurements were performed on cross-shore velocity variations in the surf zone caused by random waves by using a laser Doppler velocimeter. Two-dimensional distributions of undertow and long-wave component velocity were obtained on a uniform slope bed and a bar-type beach. A model was presented to estimate undertow distribution due to random waves on an arbitrary beach topography.
