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.

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 ...

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 ...

Flow Characteristics of the Rip Current System near a Shore-Normal Structure with Regular Waves
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Rip currents are the strong narrow seaward current produced by waves breaking on the coast. Of the many types of rip currents, the present study investigates, experimentally and numerically, the rip current system produced by the wave reflection on a ...

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1972 The generation and stabilization of rip - current circulation patterns is considered herein. An analytic model is developed to simulate the wave hydrodynamic processes in the nearshore zone, strongly influenced by the local bottom topography. The wave induced nearshore circulation pattern is computed and the results compared to prototype field data.

Analysis of Rip Current Characteristics Using Dye Tracking Method
Atmosphere, 2021 Rip currents are strong water channels flowing away from the shoreline. They can occur on any shore with breaking waves. Rip currents play a significant role in changing the topography of shallow water regions by transporting large amounts of bed ...

Offshore controls on nearshore rip currents
The rip current field resulting from the transformation of surface gravity waves over offshore submarine canyons is studied. Employing a wave transformation model and a wave-induced circulation model over observed bathymetry we find that wave height ...
