Coastal currents flowing along continental shelves are a complex dynamical feature of the global ocean. This chapter describes the evolution of a coastal current in terms of large‐amplitude shelf waves. It also describes the experimental setup and procedure and characterizes the evolution of large amplitude waves generated by retrograde flow past a headland. The chapter briefly reviews the quasi‐geostrophic (QG) equations that underlie the nonlinear wave theory and numerical simulations. It adapts nonlinear shelf wave theory to the annular channel. The chapter describes the numerical scheme for the QG equations. It compares the skill of the theory, numerical solutions, and experiments in predicting the characteristics of large‐amplitude wave breaking. Finally, the chapter summarizes the findings and relates the results to previous studies of topographic Rossby waves and coastal currents.
