Modeling Sediment Transport in Energetic Wave Bottom Boundary Layers

Abstract

The goals of this work are to develop better understanding of the sediment transport in wave bottom-boundary layers (WBBL) in the nearshore and inner shelf and to develop predictive capabilities for these effects as a function of important environmental parameters, such as wave heights, sediment properties, beach slope, local water depth, wave frequency spectra, and the presence of mean currents.
