Small-Scale Morpho-Sedimentary Dynamics in the Swash Zone of a Megatidal Mixed Sand–Gravel Beach
On mixed sand–gravel beaches, impacts from gravel- and cobble-sized grains—mobilized by the energetic shorebreak—limit the utility of in situ instrumentation for measuring the small-scale response of the beach face on wave period time scales.

Spline couplings, due to their high reliability and strength parameters, are widespread not only in mechanical engineering. The ability to transmit high torque with a sufficiently long service life has led to the extensive use of these couplings in the ...

114 temperature sections, each containing an average of 10 bathythermograms, show that internal waves commonly become altered on crossing the shoaling bottom of the continental shelf in Santa Monica Bay, Calif. The alteration takes the form of internal swash (in which the lower isotherms reach farther landward than would be expected from their depth ...

In this study, slipper/swash plate sliding test rigs were developed to measure oil film thickness distribution. For this purpose, fluorescence measurement was performed with a sapphire glass swash plate and a light emitting diode as the light source. The

Influence of Beach Slope on Morphological Changes and Sediment Transport under Irregular Waves
This paper presents new data from large-scale wave flume experiments. It shows the beach profile evolution and sediment transport for two different bed slopes (1:15 and 1:25), and three irregular high-energy erosive wave conditions and one low-energy ...

A Conceptual Model for Spatial Grain Size Variability on the Surface of and within Beaches
Grain size on the surface of natural beaches has been observed to vary spatially and temporally with morphology and wave energy. The stratigraphy of the beach at Duck, North Carolina, USA was examined using 36 vibracores (~1–1.5 m long) collected along a

Observations of nonlinear run-up patterns on plane and rhythmic beach morphology [PDF]
Application of non-linear forecasting and bispectral analysis to video observations of run-up over cuspate topography shows that these alongshore patterns in the morphology are accompanied by changes to the fundamental behaviour of the run-up timeseries.

Storm Waves at the Shoreline: When and Where Are Infragravity Waves Important?
Infragravity waves (frequency, f = 0.005–0.05 Hz) are known to dominate hydrodynamic and sediment transport processes close to the shoreline on low-sloping sandy beaches, especially when incident waves are large.
