SEDIMENT TRANSPORT BY WAVES AND CURRENTS.

Abstract

The first phase of the investigation was a library study of the work done pertaining to the phenomenon of the sand movement due to wave action. This survey provided information on the various techniques and procedures used; it also provided information about the different results obtained concerning the various phases of the study. With this information available, a preliminary laboratory study was carried out to compare the results with the various authors' findings and to check the applicability of the existing proposed methods for predicting the sediment transport due to wave action.
