Extensive research efforts in the last decade have improved knowledge of swash-zone
processes. This paper reviews and synthesizes from 2004 onward the research advances of …

Groundwater dynamics in the coastal unconfined aquifer is one of the most important
physical factors in the coastal zone since it greatly influences the nearshore hydrodynamics …

We present a comprehensive and critical review of work on the numerical modelling of
swash zone processes between 2005 and 2015. A wide range of numerical models has …

The dynamic interaction between swash and beach groundwater is fundamental to
understanding wave runup and sediment transport processes. A numerical model that …

We study the migration of natural sand bars that evolve in the nearshore by means of a new
process-based wave-resolving, 2DH circulation model. In order to perform reliable and …

Infiltration losses may be significant and warrant proper incorporation into mathematical
models for river floods in arid and semi‐arid areas, rainfall‐induced surface runoffs in …

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 …

An experimental study is presented consisting of swash zone hydrodynamics, sediment
transport flux estimates, and bed changes under a single dam-break-driven swash event …

A campaign of experimental tests on a 2D movable-bed physical model, reproducing an
Italian beach on the Adriatic Sea, has been performed in the wave flume of the “Laboratorio …

Understanding the kinematics and hydrodynamics of long waves in nearshore zones is
currently one of the more pressing aims motivating research in the coastal engineering …
