Abstract
Wave current interactions for nonlinear shallow water waves were investigated. Evolution equations for spectral wave components are derived from Boussinesq equations, and the current intensity is assumed to be between the leading wave orbital velocity and the group velocity. A simplified model is developed using the parabolic approximation. The example of the refraction and diffraction of cnoidal waves over a rip current with a sloping bed is used for both normal and oblique incident cases.
