Abstract:

This document is the final report for the ONR project N00014-90-J- 1678, the third phase of a study entitled Modelling bathymetric control of near coastal wave climate. The effort in this phase of the study was concentrated on the extension of the angular spectrum modelling technique to nonlinear shallow water waves, and to further studies of the Bragg reflection mechanism for surface waves being reflected by artificial or natural bars.
