Hydraulic roughness over simple subaqueous dunes
Jesper Bartholdy,Burg W. Flemming,Verner Brandbyge Ernstsen,Christian Winter,Alex Bartholom ä +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a virtual near-bed layer of twice the dune height in which the mean velocity is accelerated towards the crest by contraction was found to give values consistent with measured values, and the resulting dimensionless shear stress due to skin friction is depthindependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphodynamique d'une plage macrotidale à barres
TL;DR: In this paper, the topography, currents, waves, and sediment dynamics of a macrotidal ridge and runnel beach were monitored from April 24 to May 4, 1997 in order to characterise the morphodynamics of this beach type under fair-weather and storm conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sediment resuspension events within the (microtidal) coastal waters of Thermaikos Gulf, northern Greece
D. Paphitis,M.B. Collins +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, high-frequency flow, pressure and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) measurements were presented from the Paralia-Katerinis coastal area, in Thermaikos Gulf.

Onshore sandbar migration at Tairua Beach (New Zealand): Numerical simulations and field measurements
TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed the onshore migration of a nearshore sandbar at Tairua Beach, New Zealand during 4 days of low-energy wave conditions and used morphological observations, together with concurrent measurements of waves and suspended sediment concentrations, to test a coupled, wave-averaged, cross-shore model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sediment sorting at the Sand Motor at storm and annual time scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated alongshore heterogeneity of the median grain size (D50) at a large-scale nourishment (The ‘Sand Motor’) at the Dutch coast (∼21.5 million m3 sand).
