Infragravity waves: From driving mechanisms to impacts

X Bertin, A de Bakker, AP Van Dongeren, G Coco… - Earth-Science …, 2018 - Elsevier
Infragravity (hereafter IG) waves are surface ocean waves with frequencies below those of
wind-generated “short waves”(typically below 0.04 Hz). Here we focus on the most common …

The dynamics of infragravity wave transformation over a fringing reef

A Pomeroy, R Lowe, G Symonds… - Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
A 3 week field study was conducted to investigate the dynamics of low‐frequency
(infragravity) wave motions over a fringing reef at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. Short …

Numerical modeling of low-frequency wave dynamics over a fringing coral reef

AP Van Dongeren, R Lowe, A Pomeroy, DM Trang… - Coastal …, 2013 - Elsevier
Low-frequency (infragravity) wave dynamics on a fringing coral reef were investigated using
the numerical model XBeach (Roelvink et al., 2009). First, the skill of the model was …

Wave runup during extreme storm conditions

Shoreline dissipation of infragravity waves

ATM De Bakker, MFS Tissier, BG Ruessink - Continental Shelf Research, 2014 - Elsevier
Abstract Infragravity waves (0.005–0.05 Hz) have recently been observed to dissipate a
large part of their energy in the short-wave (0.05–1 Hz) surf zone, however, the underlying …

Non-hydrostatic modelling of infragravity waves under laboratory conditions

DP Rijnsdorp, PB Smit, M Zijlema - Coastal Engineering, 2014 - Elsevier
The non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH is compared to flume observations of infragravity
waves propagating over a plane slope and barred beach. The experiments cover a range of …

Dissipation of incident forced long waves in the surf zone—Implications for the concept of “bound” wave release at short wave breaking

TE Baldock - Coastal Engineering, 2012 - Elsevier
A review of laboratory data sets on surf beat is presented, with a focus on the dissipation of
long wave energy in the surf zone. It is frequently assumed that incident forced long waves …

Observations of nearshore infragravity wave dynamics under high energy swell and wind-wave conditions

K Inch, M Davidson, G Masselink, P Russell - Continental Shelf Research, 2017 - Elsevier
Abstract Infragravity waves (0.005–0.04 Hz) can dominate the water motion close to shore
on low sloping beaches and play a significant role in beach and dune erosion. A new field …
