Wave Kinematics on Sheared Currents
Abstract Whole-field kinematic measurements are presented for steep, steady waves travelling on strongly sheared currents, concentrating on the region between trough and crest level. For slab currents, the crest kinematics and wave parameters were found to be correctly obtained by using Doppler shifting and standard wave theories. When the current was sheared, the crest kinematics were found to be well predicted by adding the results of an irrotational model to the stretched current profile, although this approach did not yield good predictions in the trough. The average shear was found to be reduced, in the presence of waves, from the undisturbed value, in agreement with the findings and predictions of other authors.
