Abstract

An extensive data set of waves propagating over a shoal on a beach has been obtained from measurements in a three-dimensional physical model. The data set has been used to validate the two-dimensional Boussinesq-type wave model TRITON. In particular the performance of the implemented wave-breaking model has been investigated. Since the unique data set contains a variety of wave regimes, also the modeling of other wave aspects, such as linear dispersion and shoaling, as well as nonlinear wave-wave interaction can be verified.
