Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A coastal engineer has to predict the wave height at a nearshore site. If a deep-water wave has a height of 2m, what will be the height in shallow waters given a C_0 of 1.5m/s?

💡 Hint: Relate the wave height in shallow water back to the deep-water height using the ratio.

Question 2

Discuss the impact of mass transport in high steep waves compared to low, long-period waves at a coastal site.

💡 Hint: Consider physical movement differences in steep versus flat waves.
