Parameterization of bottom friction under combined wave-tide action in the Hooghly estuary, India

A comprehensive knowledge of the wave climate is an essential pre-requisite for practical applications in coastal and near-shore region. In coastal areas the dominant dissipative mechanism appears to be bottom friction where the relative strength depends on bottom characteristics, sediment type and...
