TL;DR: In this article, a one-equation turbulent kinetic energy closure numerical model is used to investigate the sediment transport under large symmetrical and asymmetrical waves, and also a (co-linearly) combined wave and current flow.

TL;DR: In this article, the quantities of sediment moving as bed load in oscillatory flow over a flat bed were measured with an oscillating tray in still water but some were carried out in a wave flume.
Abstract: Measurements have been made of the quantities of sediment moving as bed load in oscillatory flow over a flat bed. Most of the measurements were made with an oscillating tray in still water but some were carried out in a wave flume. There is good agreement between the two sets of results. For sand and gravel the mean sediment transport rate is observed to vary during the course of the cycle like the fourth power of the velocity of oscillation but with a slight phase lead. For nylon pellets, however, the transport curve is not quite symmetrical about its maximum. Measurements were also made of the random fluctuations in transport rate and these are compared with Abou-Seida's theoretical model. An empirical relationship is derived for the sediment transport rate.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of tsunami bores on a square prism model having different orientations to the flow direction was investigated in a 14m long, 1.2m wide and 0.8m deep wave flume equipped with an automatic gate designed to generate a tsunami bore.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of long waves, bichromatic wave groups and random waves on sediment transport in the surf and swash zones has been investigated in large-scale laboratory data, and the authors suggest that the inclusion of long wave and wave group sediment transport is important for improved near-shore morphological modeling of cross-shore beach profile evolution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the profile evolution evaluating the transport rates from a bed load sediment transport formulation coupled with velocities calculated from a set of Boussinesq equations that have been validated for its use in the surf and swash zones.
