Rip current evidence by hydrodynamic simulations, bathymetric surveys and UAV observation

摘要: Abstract. The prediction of the formation, spacing and location rip currents is a scientific challenge that can be achieved by means different complementary methods. In this paper analysis numerical experimental data, including RPAS (remotely piloted aircraft systems) observations, allowed us to detect presence channels at mouth Sele River, in Gulf Salerno, southern Italy. dataset used analyze these phenomena consisted two bathymetric surveys, detailed sediment set high-resolution wave simulations, completed with Google EarthTM images observations. grain size trend simulations identify current occurrence, forced topographically constrained incised on seabed, which were compared
