Sediment transport partitioning in the swash zone of a large - scale laboratory beach
Swash zone sheet flow and suspended sediment transport rates are estimated on a 14 coarse sand beach constructed in a large-scale laboratory wave flume. Three test cases under 15 monochromatic waves with wave heights of 0.74 m and wave periods of 8 and 12.2 s were 16 analyzed. Sediment flux in the sheet flow layer exceeds several hundred kg m s during both 17 uprush and backwash. Suspended sedi...
متن کاملSwash zone sediment transport
Preface This thesis is the result of a study, investigating the swash zone sediment transport processes. The first part of the thesis work has taken place on the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia. The second part took place in Delft at WL Delft Hydraulics and was funded by the Delft Cluster Project Coasts (03.01.03). My special gratitude goes to Stefan Aarninkhof for his daily as...
متن کاملSwash overtopping and sediment overwash on a truncated beach
New experimental laboratory data are presented on swash overtopping and sediment overwash on a truncated beach, approximating the conditions at the crest of a beach berm or inter-tidal ridge-runnel. The experiments provide a measure of the uprush sediment transport rate in the swash zone that is unaffected by the difficulties inherent in deploying instrumentation or sediment trapping techniques...
متن کاملBeachWin: modelling groundwater effects on swash sediment transport and beach profile changes
Field and laboratory observations have shown that a relatively low beach groundwater table enhances beach accretion. These observations have led to the beach dewatering technique (artificially lowering the beach water table) for combating beach erosion. Here we present a process-based numerical model that simulates the interacting wave motion on the beach, coastal groundwater flow, swash sedime...
متن کاملMeasuring Longshore Sediment Transport in a Large-Scale 3-Dimensional Laboratory Facility
Aiming at improving present understanding on longshore sediment transport (LST), the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center recently established a Large-scale Sediment Transport Facility (LSTF). The 3dimensional movable-bed facility has the capability of simulating wave conditions that are directly comparable to annual averages along many low energy coasts. Wave, current, and sedime...
