Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of wave flume experiments for the process of a silty sediment bed responded to wave action were presented, which indicated that the movements of the suspended sediments were dominated by the re-suspension of surface sediment erosion at the initial stage of wave action, whereas the suspended sediment were transported from the internal seabed sediment upward due to wave-induced liquefaction and seepage at a later stage.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of free long waves, bound long waves and wave groups on sediment transport in the surf and swash zones was presented. But the authors did not consider the effect of free and forced long waves on the evolution of model sand beaches.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with the generation and behaviour of extreme focused wave groups in a numerical wave tank and the implications of these extreme waves are discussed and the forces on horizontal and vertical cylinders, which represent simple models of offshore structures, are calculated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of a wide range of oscillatory flows were examined on polystyrene (specific gravity 1.05, diameter 1.54 mms), bakelite (specific density 1.60, diameter 0.52 mms) and sand (specific intensity 2.68, diameter 2.36 mms).
Abstract: Experiments to determine the length, height and steepness of bed forms generated by wave action have been conducted in a laboratory wave flume and an oscillating water tunnel. The effects of a wide range of oscillatory flows were examined on polystyrene (specific gravity 1.05, diameter 1.54 mms), bakelite (specific gravity 1.60, diameter 0.52 mms), bakelite (specific gravity 1.51, diameter 0.67 mms) and sand (specific gravity 2.68, diameter 0.36 mms). From the results of the experiments design curves were plotted which make it possible to predict the length and height of bed form that will develop on any specified sediment bed for given conditions of fluid oscillation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum depth-integrated wave momentum flux (MSF) was proposed for characterizing the wave contribution to nearshore coastal processes on beaches and at coastal structures.
