MS Plan A Defense: Nonhydrostatic XBeach Simulation of Wave Transformations in a Fringing Reef Environment: Validation using Field Observations
POST 723 1680 East-West Road, HonoluluCharlotte White Master’s Student Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Mānoa **This defense will be held both in person (POST 723) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 924 2221 6911 Passcode: CharMS https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/92422216911 Modeling wave transformations in nearshore fringing reef environments is a highly evolving field, especially for engineering applications. This study focuses on wave transformation at Waimānalo Beach, a location that features a shallow fringing reef and sloping seafloor. To study the wave characteristics at the site, the nonhydrostatic version of XBeach (nonhXB), a two-dimension, depth-integrated numerical model is implemented. The offshore boundary wave conditions are
