Regular Wave Height Transformation

Regular wave height transformation is computed from the energy flux conservation based on linear wave theory. The energy dissipation rate is assumed to be proportional to the difference between the local mean energy density and stable energy density. The energy dissipation model is calibrated and verified extensively for a variety of wave and bottom conditions, including small scale and large scale experiments. Published experimental data from eleven sources are better explained by the present energy dissipation model than the preceding model of Dally et al. [1]. 1
