Acoustical Studies of Sediment Dynamics in the Surf Zone: Sandyduck '97

Abstract

The central goal of this project is a deeper understanding of the dynamic adjustment of mobile sandy sediments to fluid forcing in and near the surf zone at small (1cm to 10m) and intermediate (10m to 100m) horizontal scales. The effort is motivated by the dual need to develop more realistic models of fluid-sediment interactions in the nearshore zone, and for suitable in situ measurement techniques to make the observations necessary to adequately test the models.
