Abstract

This paper describes the application of a new version of the mild slope equation to a detached offshore breakwater scheme. Details of the computational model are briefly described with aspects of its capabilities. The field site at Elmer, Brighton, UK is then described. The field measurements, analysis and data selection for model evaluation are summarised with particular attention focused on the spectral and directional results. Monochromatic and directional model runs are described. Results from the model are compared to the comprehensive recorded field data from which a preliminary evaluation of its performance is made.
