Abstract

In this paper, the two-step explicit finite element analysis for the numerical model of the unsteady nearshore circulation proposed in·Ref. [1] and its realization of Fortran program are presented.

A circulation has been, clearly shown in the calculated wave-current velocity field, and it is in good agreement with observations.
