| Abstract: | An evaluation of the Bretschneider and Reid (1954) technique for calculating wave attenuation due to friction and shoaling is presented. Data used in this evaluation were collected at CT.RC' s Field Research Facility (FRF), Duck, North Carolina. The results, using Kamphuis' (1975) friction factor diagram, show slightly underpredicted wave heights with an average deviation of 6 percent. Poor correlation with observed wave heights is illustrated when hot tom contours are not straight and parallel, indicating the presence of other mechanisms. |
