Wave-current interactions in coastal waters and their application to shore-connected bars

A multi-scale asymptotic theory is derived for the evolution and interaction of currents and surface gravity waves in water of finite depth, under conditions typical of coastal shelf waters outside the surf zone. The theory provides a practical and useful model with which wave-current coupling may b...
