| Abstract: | Breaker parameters, beach slopes and sediment characteristics, collected from 2 distinctive coasts, are used to compute the longshore current velocities with 4 widely used models, viz. Longuet-Higgins', Komar's and their modified versions. The longshore current velocities are overestimated by Longuet-Higgins when compared with the measured values. The equations of Komar provide comparable velocities. The suggestion of Komar that the ratio of bottom slope and frictional drag coefficient is constant is further established in this study. |
