Abstract
A parabolic approximation formulation is presented to study the wave-current interactions on a slowly varying topography. Model equations are first derived from the mild-slope assumption. A parabolic approximation is then applied to convert a boundary value problem to an initial value problem. Several limiting cases are discussed. Numerical examples are given for the case concerning the interactions between jet-like currents and normal incident waves on a sloping beach.
