The existence of sandy beaches relies on the onshore transport of sand by waves during
post-storm conditions. Most operational sediment transport models employ wave-averaged …

Wave breaking plays a crucial role in several areas of interest in coastal engineering, such
as flooding, wave loading on structures and coastal morphodynamics. In the present study …

Computational fluid dynamics is increasingly used to investigate the inherently complicated
phenomenon of wave breaking. To date, however, no single model has proved capable of …

Detailed information on nearshore sediment transport processes during onshore bar
migration were obtained from large‐scale laboratory experiments with bichromatic wave …

This study presents novel insights into hydrodynamics and sediment fluxes in large‐scale
laboratory experiments with bichromatic wave groups on a relatively steep initial beach …

Plunging waves generate vortices that suspend significant amounts of sediment in the key
sediment transport mechanism in the surf and swash zones of beaches, causing major …

A novel flume experiment was conducted to compare the sheltering effect of surrogate
seagrass meadows of two different lengths against a bare beach (benchmark). The analyses …

Along sandy coastlines, submerged, shore-parallel sandbars play an essential role in
shoreline morphology by dissipating wave energy through depth-induced wave breaking …

Abstract The Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH) method, solving the
2D RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) equations with the modified k–ε turbulence …

Sand transport processes and net transport rates are studied in a large-scale laboratory
swash zone. Bichromatic waves with a phase modulation were generated, producing two …
