Effects of surfzone wave transformation on swash dynamics
Swash oscillations on two natural beaches were measured to show that the shape and magnitude of energy spectra can be largely dependent on processes occurring inside the surfzone. The observations took place on a steep, intermediate beach on the east coast (Tairua Beach), and a low-sloping, …

Experimental investigation of wave-induced morphological changes of gravel beaches
Gravel beaches are widespread around the North-Atlantic Ocean shorelines and can also be found along the coastlines of New Zealand, Russia and the Pacific shore of USA. Over the past decades, researchers in coastal morphodynamics have placed their emphasis on studying sand beaches but gravel …

Numerical Perspective on Tsunami Hazards and Their Mitigation by Coastal Vegetation
… such as barrier location, barrier width, beach slope and/or wave amplitude. Overall we conclude, after intense validation work, that numerical approaches are very convenient tools to analyze difficult wave processes. However it is necessary to be aware of the limitation of each numerical …

Generation of Very Long Waves in Laboratory for Tsunamis Research
… Wave behaviour in the tank without beach and the wave run-up on a plane beach are of main interest. The unique contributions for the two scenarios are that wave profile or run-up height of very<br/>long waves with a variety of bottom motions and surface problems have been …
