culation cell
Figure 4.48 Rip current along the rip channel (y= 300 grid points)
The rip current significantly affects the wave motion. The large variation of the
rip current causes an increase in the wave height, which can be seen in
Figure 4.46 (lower panel). The rip current also causes a small local bend in
the wave crest occurring at the centre line as observed by Hamm.
