Verification of a 1-dimensional surf prediction model for steep beach conditions

Wave breaking is the only source of energy dissipation in the Battjes and Janssen (1978) wave transformation model, which is parameterized by a breaking wave parameter, Y. The Battjes and Janssen (1978) wave transformation model was calibrated by Battjes and Stive (1985) and the calibration was refi...
