Journal ArticleDOI
Void fraction measurements in breaking waves
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe detailed measurements and analysis of the time-varying distribution of void fractions in three different breaking waves under laboratory conditions, and document the rapid spatial and temporal evolutions of both the bubble plume generated beneath the free surface and the splashes above.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of the time-varying free-surface profile across the swash zone obtained using an industrial LIDAR
TL;DR: The use of an industrial LIDAR instrument to measure time-varying water-surface elevations within the swash zone is investigated in this paper, where the propagation of a swash lens across the beach face was measured simultaneously by a Lidar instrument and a network of precision ultrasonic altimeters at a sandy beach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Net sediment transport and morphological change in the swash zone of a high-energy sandy beach from swash event to tidal cycle time scales
TL;DR: In this paper, a field experiment was conducted on a high energy sandy beach (Truc Vert, France) to examine swash zone processes and shoreline erosion-accretion in response to changing wave and tide conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swash zone sediment transport, step dynamics and morphological response on a gravel beach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected morphodynamic field data from Slapton Sands (UK), a fine-gravel beach, over a 10-day period under a range of wave-tide conditions, comprising a mixture of southerly swell and easterly wind waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swash zone sediment fluxes: Field observations
TL;DR: In this article, high-frequency observations of beach face morphological change over numerous tidal cycles on a macrotidal sandy beach made using a large array of ultrasonic altimeters are presented.
