Abstract
This paper presents a simple numerical model of quasi-2DV wave-induced currents due to wave b reaking. In order to determine the vertical distribution of undertow velocity, time-averaged N-S equations that incorporate the components of wave particle velocity and turbulent fluctuation due to wave breaking are solved using the fractional finite different method in the cross-shore direction and the Galerkin method in the vertical direction. The computed results for wave set-up and undertow are compared with those of laboratory experiments for the spilling breakers on the uniform slope. Furthermore, the numerical model is applied to determine the velocity field on the bar-type and step-type beach. Finally, it's applicability is investigated and discussed.
