experimental assessment of sediment transport and bed formation of sandy beaches by tsunami waves
all experiments in this study were carried out in a flume which was located in the hydraulic laboratory of technical faculty in guilan university. the wave flume was 12 m long, 0.5 m wide, 0.5 m high and equipped with a wave-producing system and ultrasonic sensors. the objectives of current experimental study are to investigate sediment transport, bed formation and sustainability of sandy beach...
متن کاملA Numerical Modeling Framework for Cohesive Sediment Transport Driven by Waves and Tidal Currents
1. Developing a 3D turbulence-resolving numerical model for fine sediment transport in the oscillatory boundary layer in order to understand how turbulencesediment interactions can determine the state of muddy seabed (transport modes). 2. Studying the attenuation of turbulence due to the presence of sediment via the interplay between sediment-induced density stratification and enhanced viscosit...
متن کاملTsunami currents in ports.
Tsunami-induced currents present an obvious hazard to maritime activities and ports in particular. The historical record is replete with accounts from ship captains and harbour masters describing their fateful encounters with currents and surges caused by these destructive waves. Despite the well-known hazard, only since the trans-oceanic tsunamis of the early twenty-first century (2004, 2010 a...
متن کاملCross-shore suspended sediment transport under tidal currents
The transport of sediment over an intertidal mudflat by a cross-shore tidal current is investigated analytically by formulating a mathematical model of the fluid and particulate motion. The model exploits the low gradient of the intertidal flats and is based upon a shallow-layer approximation. It is found that the sediment transport comprises advection with the mean flow, deposition and erosion...
متن کاملWave-induced sediment transport and sandbar migration.
Onshore sediment transport and sandbar migration are important to the morphological evolution of beaches but are not well understood. Here, a model that accounts for fluid accelerations in waves predicts the onshore sandbar migration observed on an ocean beach. In both the observations and the model, the location of the maximum acceleration-induced transport moves shoreward with the sandbar, re...
