Swash zone sediment suspension and transport and the importance of bore-generated turbulence

Creator:

Puleo, J. A., Beach, R. A., Holman, Robert A., and Allen, J. S.

Abstract:

A study of swash zone sediment transport was conducted at Gleneden Beach, Oregon during February 25-28, 1994. The data collected included suspended sediment concentration (SSC), sea surface elevation, and velocity (initially 4 and 8 cm above the bed) at three cross-shore locations within the swash zone spanning high tides. Ensemble...

Alongshore current over variable beach topography

Creator:

Slinn, Donald N., Allen, J. S., and Holman, Robert A.

Abstract:

The nonlinear dynamics of unstable alongshore currents in the nearshore surf zone over variable barred beach topography are studied using numerical experiments. These experiments extend the recent studies of Allen et al. [1996] and Slnn et al. [1998], which utilized alongshore uniform beach topographies by including sinusoidal alongshore variation to...
