Hydrodynamic forcing with respect to sediment transport and morphologic change, paying
particular attention to relevant swash asymmetries, is reviewed. The hydrodynamics are …

A critical review of conceptual and mathematical models developed in recent decades on
sediment transport in the swash zone is presented. Numerous studies of the hydrodynamics …

This paper re-examines existing wave run-up data for regular, irregular and solitary waves
on smooth, impermeable plane slopes. A simple physical argument is used to derive a new …

Direct measurements of bed shear in the swash zone are presented. The data were
obtained using a shear plate in medium and large-scale laboratory bore-driven swash and …

New laboratory experiments have produced detailed measurements of hydrodynamics
within swash generated by bore collapse on a steep beach. The experiments are based on …

Two parallel experiments involving the evolution and runup induced by plunging regular
waves near the shoreline of a sloping bed are considered:(1) a rigid‐bed experiment …

Wave overtopping a sea dike may pose a threat to people and property. However,
knowledge of the overtopping features, in particular overtopping flow loads, are not well …

The influence of the seaward boundary condition on the internal swash hydrodynamics is
investigated. New numerical solutions of the characteristics form of the nonlinear shallow …

A new parameter representing the maximum depth-integrated wave momentum flux
occurring over a wave length is proposed for characterizing the wave contribution to …

Vertical flow structure and turbulent dissipation in the swash zone are estimated using cross‐
shore fluid velocities observed on a low‐sloped, fine‐grained sandy beach [Raubenheimer …
