Abstract
A
numerical
method
is
presented
to
solve
the
coastal-trapped
wave
(CTW)
problem.
The
method
is
the
explicitly
shifted
inverse
power
algorithm
for the
generalized
eigenvalue
problem.
Problems
non-linear
in the
eigenvalue
,
such
as the
dispersive
baroclinic
CTW
problem
, are
addressed
by
expressing
them as
linear
problems
of
expanded
dimension.
The
novelty
of the
technique
is
its
ability
to
compute
complex
eigenvalues
directly.
--
In this
thesis
two
applications
of the
method
are
presented.
First
, the
effect
of
stratification
on
CTW's
is
investigated
by
determining
their
dispersion
characteristics.
These are
computed
for
both
real
propagating
and
complex
evanescent
wavenumber
solutions.
Second
, the
influence
of a
mean
alongshore
current
on
CTW's
is
studied.
The
results
are
compared
to
observations
made
along
the
eastern
Australian
coast.
