摘要

Hydrodynamic models for nearshore wave processes constitute essential components of decision-support tools for disaster managers and coastal planners, as well as coastal engineering projects. However, the accuracy achieved by these tools is highly dependent on the correct estimation of certain calibration coefficients. This work focuses on the development of an automatic calibration methodology of these models that uses hybrid modeling to reduce the time and resources commonly required for this task. The proposed methodology is applied to the monitored coral reef-lined coast, Moloka’i, Hawai’i. Specifically, we aim to predict the optimal wave breaking (Cr) and friction (Cf) coefficients, which govern the wave breaking process and the dissipation of wave energy. In this case, where we validate against a total of 2,064 measured sea states, we achieve Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE) of less than 0.07 m for the root mean square wave height (Hrms) when considering the resulting optimal combination coefficients.
