Numerical simulation of longshore currents and pollutant movement in waves and currents in coastal zone

Waves, breaking-wave-induced long shore currents and pollutant movement in waves and currents have been numerically simulated based on the hyper bolic mild-slope equation, the shallow water equation and the pollutant movement equation, and the comparison between the numerical and experimental results have also been made.The numerical results show that the longshore current velocity and wave set-up increase with the increase of the incident wave amplitude and off shore slope gradient; the wave set-up increases with the increase of the incident wave period.In a mild-slope coastal zone, the longshore currents induced by the inclined incident waves have important influence on longshore pollutant movement.
