A Basic Description of Sediment Transport on Beaches,

Abstract

Studies at the Hydraulic Engineering Laboratory, University of California, are based on the mathematical methods of approach to determine the depth sand can be moved by wave action. To make this determination, sediment motions were divided into bedload motion, surface creep and suspension. (Author)
