Nearshore Sediment Transport Modeling: Collaborative Studies with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory

Abstract

The goals of this work are to obtain better understanding of sediment mobilization, transport, and deposition across the wave bottom-boundary layers (WBBL) in the surf and swash zones and to improve predictive capabilities for bed load and suspended sediment transport as a function of environmental parameters, including wave heights, breaker characteristics, sediment properties, beach slope, bottom roughness, local water depth, wave frequency spectra, and the presence of low frequency circulations such as along shore currents and undertow.
