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.

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.

TL;DR: An overview of the current state of spaceborne-based remote sensing techniques used to estimate the topography and bathymetry of beaches, intertidal, and nearshore areas is presented and some insights about the potential of these techniques when using data provided by new and future satellite missions are provided.

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-unsteady, practical model was developed to predict the total sediment transport rates in wave or combined wave-current flow conditions that are characteristic of the coastal zone.

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.
