The rip current occurred at Haeundae beach was numerically investigated under directional
random wave environment. The numerical simulation was performed using a fully nonlinear
Boussinesq equation model, FUNWAVE which is capable of simulating nearshore
circulation since it includes the effect of wave-induced momentum flux and horizontal
turbulent mixing. The results of numerical simulation show the time-dependent evolution of
the wave-induced nearshore circulation system (including rip current) that are caused by …

ABSTRACT Bae, JS, Yoon, SB, Choi, J., 2013. Boussinesq Modelling of a Rip Current at
Haeundae Beach. The rip current occurring at Haeundae beach in Busan, South Korea was
numerically investigated under directional random wave environment. The numerical
simulations were performed using a fully nonlinear Boussinesq equation model, FUNWAVE
which is capable of resolving phase interaction and simulating nearshore circulation since it
includes the effect of wave-induced momentum flux and horizontal turbulent mixing. To …
