The instantaneous current velocity u_i is split into:

$u_{i}={\bar {u_{i}}}+{\tilde {u_{i}}}+u_{i}^{'}$

(1)

in which

{\bar {u_{i}}}

= current (wave-averaged) velocity [m/s]

{\tilde {u_{i}}}

= wave (oscillatory) velocity [m/s]with wave-average

{\bar {u_{i}}}=0

below the wave trough

u_{i}^{'}

= turbulent fluctuation [m/s] with ensemble average

\langle u_{i}^{'}\rangle

= 0 and wave average

{\bar {u_{i}^{'}}}

= 0

The wave-averaged total volume flux is defined as

$hV_{i}={\overline {{\int _{z_{b}}^{\eta }}{u_{i}dz}}}$

(2)

where

h

= wave-averaged water depth

h={\bar {\eta }}-z_{b}

(Figure 1) [m]

V_{i}

= total mean mass flux velocity or simply total flux velocity [m/s]

\eta

= instantaneous water level with respect to the Still Water Level (SWL) [m]

{\bar {\eta }}

= wave-averaged water surface elevation with respect to the SWL (Figure 2-1) [m]

z_{b}

= bed elevation with respect to the SWL (Figure 1) [m]

Figure 1. Vertical conventions used for the bed and mean water surface elevation.

The total flux velocity is also referred to as the mean transport velocity (Phillips 1977) and mass transport velocity (Mei 1983). The current volume flux is defined as

$hU_{i}=\int _{z_{b}}^{\bar {\eta }}{\bar {u_{i}}}dz$

(3)

where $U_{i}$ is the depth-averaged current velocity. Similarly, the wave volume flux is defined as by

$Q_{wi}=hU_{wi}={\overline {\int _{\eta _{t}}^{\eta }{\tilde {u_{i}}}dz}}$

(4)

where

U_{wi}

= depth-averaged wave flux velocity [m/s]

\eta _{t}

= wave trough elevation [m]

Therefore the total flux velocity may be written as

$V_{i}=U_{i}+U_{wi}$

-The equations above are similar to those derived by Svendsen (2006), ex-cept for the inclusion of the water source/sink term in the continuity equation and the atmospheric pressure and surface roller terms in the momentum equation. It is also noted that the horizontal mixing term is formulated differently as a function of the total flux velocity, similar to the Generalized Lagrangian Mean (GLM) approach (Andrews and McIntyre 1978; Walstra et al. 2000). This approach is arguably more physically meaningful and also simplifies the discretization.
-Figure 2-1 shows the vertical conventions used for mean water surface elevation and bed elevations. The arrows indicate the reference elevation for each variable. Note that the total water depth is always positive.
