Mixing in the surf zone

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1971
Two important mixing mechanisms are operative within the surf zone, each having distinctive length and time scales determined by the intensity of the waves and the dimensions of the surf zone. The first is associated with the breaking wave and its bore, which produce rapid mixing in an on-offshore direction.

Boundary Roughness and Bedforms in the Surf Zone

Marine Geology, 1984
Hydrodynamical models of the nearshore system frequently assume that a single friction coefficient is sufficient to represent flow conditions at a point in the surf zone. Furthermore, models attempting to relate bed configuration to surf zone flows have relied primarily upon the wave orbital velocity as an indicator of potential bedforms, and thus as ...

The mechanics of the surf zone

1973
In recent years many previously baffling phenomena to do with the action of waves on sloping beaches have been sufficiently understood physically that they are now amenable to mathematical analysis. This in turn has suggested new problems, which it will be the purpose of this paper to point out.

The Dynamics of Cobbles In and Near the Surf Zone and Mine Movement In and Near the Surf Zone

1999
Abstract : GOAL. The long-range goals of this research are to develop, by laboratory experimentation, theoretical analyses and comparisons with field experiments, a basic understanding and, eventually, a predictive capability of the motion of cobbles in the shoaling, wave-breaking and swash zones (here, the size classification of cobbles used by the ...

Surf Zone Dynamics

1992
Surf zone dynamics is a highly complicated topic in hydrodynamics which deals with the waves and wave generated phenomena in the region between the breaker line on a beach and the shoreline.

The Dynamics of Cobble in and Near the Surf Zone

2001
Abstract : This research was driven by the need of the Navy to improve mine countermeasures in support of joint littoral warfare, for which a key paradigm is to locate a clear or low mine- and obstacle-density path. To accomplish this goal, it is imperative that one be able to predict the behavior of mines in shallow water under a variety of coastal ...

Solute Mixing in the Surf Zone

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 2009
An experimental study has been undertaken within the U.K. Coastal Research Facility (CRF), located at HR Wallingford Ltd. Detailed measurements were made to examine the on–off shore spreading of a solute, mostly inside the surf zone, for shore normal waves combined with a longshore current. The results show that the on–off shore mixing is significantly
