Wave-Current Interaction Model on an Exponential Profile

We develop a model that approximates the exponential depth, which exhibits the behavior of linear depth particularly in the surf zone. The main effect of the present exponential depth is found in the shoaling zone, where the depth remains finite. The basic description and the outcome is essentially rip currents where in the surf zone the wave behavior is the same as found in the linear depth case. In the shoaling zone the present exponential depth exhibits the hypergeometric functions.
