Flow-Based Rip Current Detection and Visualization
IEEE Access, 2022 Rip currents are like rivers of fast-moving water that can quickly carry the unwary out to sea. They are not easy to recognize, especially to the untrained observer.

Interpretable Deep Learning Applied to Rip Current Detection and Localization
Remote Sensing, 2022 A rip current is a strong, localized current of water which moves along and away from the shore. Recent studies have suggested that drownings due to rip currents are still a major threat to beach safety.

Brief Communication: A new perspective on the Australian rip current hazard [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Rip currents are strong, narrow offshore flows of water which occur on many of the world's beaches and represent a serious hazard to bathers. In Australia, rip currents account for an average of 21 confirmed human fatalities per year.

RIP CURRENTS ON A BARRED BEACH [PDF]
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2012 This work presents the numerical study of rip current circulation on a barred beach. The numerical simulations have been carried out with the IH-FOAM model which is based on the three dimensional Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The new boundary conditions implemented in IH-FOAM have been used, including three dimensional wave generation as ...

ELCVIA Electronic Letters on Computer Vision and Image Analysis, 2023 Beach hazards would be any occurrences potentially endanger individuals as well as their activity. Rip current, or reverse current of the sea, is a type of wave that pushes against the shore and moves in the opposite direction, that is, towards the deep

Public Understanding and Knowledge of Rip Currents and Beach Safety [PDF]
, 2015 Rip currents present a severe hazard for water users on beaches and account for the greatest cause of lifeguard rescues worldwide. The physical dynamics of rip currents are well studied, and more recently, the social and behavioural science research ...

Rip current related drowning deaths and rescues in Australia 2004–2011 [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Rip currents are a common hazard to beachgoers found on many beaches around the world, but it has proven difficult to accurately quantify the actual number of rip current related drowning deaths in many regions and countries.

Rip currents in the non-tidal surf zone with sandbars: numerical analysis versus field measurements
Oceanologia, 2020 Summary: Rip currents, which are local seaward-directed jets with their mean velocity exceeding 0.5 m/s, have been a subject of many studies since the 1940s.

A Bayesian network approach to modelling rip-current drownings and shore-break wave injuries [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 A Bayesian network (BN) approach is used to model and predict shore-break-related injuries and rip-current drowning incidents based on detailed environmental conditions (wave, tide, weather, beach morphology) on the high-energy Gironde coast, southwest ...
