Computation of wave refraction and longshore sediment transport rates / by M.G. Skafel.: En36-522/55-1975E-PDF
"A computer programme to calculate wave refraction, wave height and resulting longshore sediment transport is described. Linear theory is used to describe the waves up to the breaker zone. The longshore sediment transport rate is then evaluated using the wave characteristics at breaking. The waves need not originate in deep water, a useful feature when the offshore wave data are hindcasted for shallow lakes. The computed wave direction and height for a plane sloping bathymetry compare favourably to analytical results and to the results of another programme (Dobson, 1967)"--Abstract.
