ABSTRACT Shi, J.; Zhang, C.; Zheng, J.; Tong, C.; Wang, P., and Chen, S., 2018. Modelling Wave Breaking across Coral Reefs Using a Non-Hydrostatic Model. In: Shim, J.-S.; Chun, I., and Lim, H.S. (eds.), Proceedings from the International Coastal Symposium (ICS) 2018 (Busan, Republic of Korea). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 85, pp. 501–505. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Wave breaking is the main mechanism to drive flow across shallow reef flats. The breaking process is more complex than on continental shelves due to the extreme geometries. This paper describes a non-hydrostatic model with shock-capturing capability to simulate the wave breaking process over two reef profiles. The two cases with and without ridge at the edge of reef crest are simulated, and the results are compared with data measured from laboratory experiment. The results show that the model can predict the surface elevation and mean sea level with good accuracy. The existence of a ridge can narrow the width of ...
