TLDR
In this paper, the applicability of traditional porous-media analytical methods to wave-induced flow in beds of sand has been verified experimentally, and the agreement between theory and experiment is found to be quite good.Abstract:
Measurements of the variation of the fluctuating component of pressure have been made in two different beds of sand in a wave channel. The sand was laid from an overhead hopper, and it is shown that the stratification of the bed produced by this method causes the permeability to be different in the vertical and horizontal directions. It is suggested that a similar situation exists in the sea bed. Analytical relationships for the pressure and velocity distributions in such a situation are developed, and the agreement between theory and experiment is found to be quite good. As far as is known, this is the first time that the applicability of traditional porous-media analytical methods to wave-induced flow in beds of sand has been verified experimentally.read more

On the response of a poro-elastic bed to water waves
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of the response of a porous elastic bed to water waves is treated analytically on the basis of the three-dimensional consolidation theory of Biot (1941).

Progradational gravel beach sequences in a moderate‐ to high‐energy, microtidal marine environment
F. Massari,G. C. Parea +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the anatomy of progradational gravel beaches was analysed in two different tectonic settings: the strongly subsiding Messinian foreland basin of the eastern Southern Alps and the rising Pleistocene marine terraces of the outer margin of the Apenninic chain.

Porous Models for Wave-seabed Interactions
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic analysis for wave-induced seabed interactions is presented, showing that wave-driven seepage flux in Marine Sediments increases with the number of waves.

Measurements and modelling of beach groundwater flow in the swash-zone: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the research on beach groundwater dynamics and identify research questions which will need to be answered before swash zone sediment transport and beach profile evolution can be successfully modelled.
