    Swash-Zone Hydrodynamics on Mild and Steep Beaches

    New search for: Shanehsaz-zadeh, Ahmad
    New search for: Holmes, Patrick

    Hydrodynamic parameters of wave-induced water motion in the swash-zone, predicted by a numerical solution of the Non-Linear Shallow Water (NLSW) equations, are compared with full-scale data on two beaches, one mild and the other steep. The model can predict many aspects of the swash hydrodynamics, particularly horizontal velocities, which is important with regard to sediment transport. The results are sufficiently reliable for the prediction of sediment transport in the swash-zone. However, agreement is better for the mild beach than for the steep one, probably due to higher permeability which exists on the steep beach with a larger grain size.
