For practical purposes, one considers that a wave is moving in deep water when its wave length is less than twice the depth and that a wave is moving in shallow water when its wave length is more than 1/20 of the depth. In those two cases the dispersion relations can be approximated (with a error less than a few%) with the following relations : in deep water : in shallow water :

So long waves (large period) fell the bottom at larger depth than short waves, and the longer the swell is, the more important the wave transformation is.

STANDING WAVE
In shalow water, the wave period T necessary to produce a seiche in a closed basin of dimension L is T=2xL/sqrt(gd) or with wave lenght of two times L.
For an open basin on one edge, T=4xL/sqrt(gd)
Can be written as the superposition of two progressive waves propagating in the opposite directions

Spectral approach
Numerical spectral wave model can deals with depth refraction
Modern wave prediction is based on the solution of the so called energy balance equation. This equation is derived from the principle of the conservation of wave action. In this theory, it is assumed that:
•Amplitudes, frequencies and wave lengths of individual waves vary slowly with respect to the intrinsic space scale (the wave length) and time scale (the wave period), and that linear theory is valid.
Wind Wave and Storm Surge Workshop Halifax 16-20/06/03
•This means that in regions where characteristics of waves are varying rapidly, the theory presented here is not valid and others formulations are required. In the surf zone where waves are breaking, one cannot apply this theory, in « theory ». However the breaking effect can be taken into account in spectral models. The balance equation for the action density spectrum N reads:

As waves propagate from deep water into shallow water, their velocity initially increases slightly and then decreases. Therefore, energy increases after a slight decrease. Energy growth is however limited by wave breaking. In the surf zone, the linear approximation is not longer valid and other approximate equations are needed. While, wave length decreases, waves are becoming more and more steep until they break. What happens to the absolute frequency (or period) in the stationary case?. We have: Stationarity implies:

For a wave of 10 s period, and k0 = 0.04 m-1 with a
height of H0 off shore, one can compute the wave transformation, λ et H/H0 at several water depths:

CURRENT REFRACTION
Strong currents are normally present in shallow water areas. Modelling waves in such places often requires taking into account wave-current interactions. This can be done with the use of a coupled wave-current-surge model but this is beyond the scope of this workshop. We will only discuss the effect of slowly varying and limited current speed on waves. Wave kinematics along rays is described through the following relations:

The absolute frequency (which is wave frequency in a fixed frame) remains constant along ray paths in a steady medium, not the intrinsinc frequency (which is wave frequency in a frame moving with the current) unless the current is uniform.Consider the example of a long shore current decreasing towards the shore and waves initially propagating in the direction of the current. Equations implies that waves will turn towards the shore, similarly to what would happen without current but with depth refraction. Another simple example is a wave propagating in the direction of a current which is variable in the direction of propagation, in a steady medium. Since the absolute frequency remains constant along the ray path, we have:
=const. 0 kU
Wind Wave and Storm Surge Workshop Halifax 16-20/06/03
where 0 is wave frequency at the location where there is no current. According to the dispersion relation in deep water, one can show that the above relation reduces to the quadratic equation in , where c denotes the phase
velocity (c=/k) namely;
which has one realistic solution if is positive.
The critical situation appears when this term is equal to zero. That is if the current is equal and opposite to the local group velocity, but waves break shortly before this kinematic limits is reached.

WAVE GROWTH INTO SHALLOW WATER
In the theory of the equilibrium in the high frequency range of the wind wave k-spectrum, it was found according to dimensional arguments that its shape is universal and is k-3. Since in deep water the dispersion relation reduces to: 2=gk, we have
k-3 dk=2-5 /g d The frequency spectrum F() which is related to the wave number spectrum F(k) through the relation: F(k)dk=F()d, has therefore a -5 tail. A new universal spectrum similar to the JOWSWAP spectrum and called the TMA spectrum was proposed (Bows et al. 1985):
Wind Wave and Storm Surge Workshop Halifax 16-20/06/03
FTMA(,d) = r(,d) FJONSWAP () where r(,d) is an empirically determined function
The growth is limited by the depth in shallow water. Formula have been derived in order to compute the wave height as a function of depth, wind speed and fetch.
Wind Wave and Storm Surge Workshop Halifax 16-20/06/03
In the case of an idealized flat bottom, a formulation for the maximum significant wave height (Hm) have been established by CERC (1973) based on various measurements. Once simplified, the formulation becomes for shallow water:

BOTTOM DISSIPATION
In shallow water, the ocean bottom is responsible for energy dissipation by:
- bottom friction- percolation - wave induced bottom motion
Other wave bottom interactions are also important in certain circumstances such as:
- bottom scattering - bottom elasticity.
Wind Wave and Storm Surge Workshop Halifax 16-20/06/03
The first process is conservative, the second is not. Outside the surf zone, bottom friction is usually the most relevant process. A version commonly used for the bottom friction source term comes from the JONSWAP experiment (Hasselmann et al. 1973):

Depending on the nature of bottom sediment, percolation can contribute significantly or even dominates bottom dissipation (in cases of porous bottom) and the corresponding source term can be parametrized as:

WAVE BREAKING
In deep water wave breaking is controlled by wave steepness. A theoretical upper limit for wave steepness is 0.14 or 1/7. In the surf zone, because of bottom friction, the upper part of the wave tends to increase its speed relative to the lower part. At some time the crest overtakes the preceding trough and the wave breaks. Several kinds of breaking can occur, depending on the steepness of the beach and on the steepness of the waves before entering shallow water areas;
Wind Wave and Storm Surge Workshop Halifax 16-20/06/03
Spilling breaking The water from the crest falls along the forward face of the wave.
Plunging breaking
The water from the crest rapidly overtakes the wave base and plunges foward into the wave trough.
Surging breaking
The base of the wave surges up the beach before the crest can plunge forward
Collapsing breaking
This is between plunging and surging breaking

DIFFRACTION
When waves propagate towards an obstacle, waves are diffracted behind the obstacle, towards the sheltered area so that the energy gradient does not become infinite.
Diffraction cannot be described in the framework of the linear wave theory we presented because rapid changes in the wave characteristics occur when diffraction arises. This phenomenon is essentially relevant for coastal engineering applications. However, the cumulative effects of refraction in areas with irregular bathymetry may also cause locally large variations so that diffraction may arise, preventing energy from increasing unrealistically

4. Tsunami
• 2m height (H), 200 km wave lenght, 5 km water depth (d)
• Is it deep or shalow water!• Compute wave height just before
breaking, depth where breaking starts (assuming Hb=0.6d and no angular refraction ).
