Journal ArticleDOI
Observations of velocities, sand concentrations, and fluxes under velocity-asymmetric oscillatory flows
TL;DR: In this paper, U-tube measurements of instantaneous velocities, concentrations, and fluxes for a well-sorted, medium-sized sand in oscillatory sheet flow are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical approximate wave form for asymmetric waves
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple analytical formulation that reproduces a skewed, nonlinear near-bed wave orbital velocity is presented, which contains four free parameters, where two are solely related to the velocity and acceleration skewnesses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and validation of a three-dimensional morphodynamic modelling system for non-cohesive sediments
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D unstructured grid morphodynamic modeling system, MORSELFE, is proposed to simulate short-term morphological evolutions of estuaries and sandy rivers (temporal scale of days to months).
Journal ArticleDOI
Sediment transport in nonlinear skewed oscillatory flows: Transkew experiments
Paulo A. Silva,Tiago Abreu,Dominic A. van der A,Francisco Sancho,B.G. Ruessink,Jebbe J. van der Werf,Jan S. Ribberink +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of flow acceleration on sand transport were investigated in an oscillating water tunnel to study the effect of acceleration skewness on sediment transport in the nearshore zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhythmic surf zone bars and morphodynamic self-organization
Albert Falqués,Nicholas Dodd,Roland Garnier,Francesca Ribas,L.C. Machardy,Philippe Larroudé,Daniel Calvete,Francisco Sancho +7 more
TL;DR: Work undertaken in the EU HUMOR project on morphodynamical modelling, particularly with regard to simulating and understanding rhythmic surf zone bars and related morphodynamic self-organization, is presented and recommendations for further work are made.
