Bed shear stress under wave runup on steep slopes
… friction factors, which remained constant during uprush and backwash (except around flow reversal). Friction factors remained consistent for many different wave cases, and appeared to be only affected by bed roughness. These results show much more consistency than previous studies, because of the …

Near-bed hydrodynamics and sediment transport in the swash zone
… frequently in the swash zone during both the uprush and the backwash. A detailed analysis of sheet flow focusing on quasi-steady backwash events (when effects of phase lags, surface-generated turbulence and accelerations were small) showed that the sheet flow sediment concentration profile has …

Transport of terrigenous sediment and horseshoe crab eggs in the swash zone of an estuarine foreshore in Delaware Bay, New Jersey, USA
… and eggs trapped from the mid-foreshore in the uprush relative to the backwash despite offshore directed flows during the tidal cycle when wave heights ranged from 0.43-0.64 m. Low quantities of eggs and sediment entrained from the upper foreshore are a function of the decreasing swash depths …

SPH modeling of the vertical flow structure and turbulence in the swash
… a swash backwash collides with the following uprush. The model is initialized with a flat sea surface and the measured beach profile and is forced at the offshore boundary with waves observed in 5 m water depth. The model is used to simulate the cross-shore and vertical structure of wave …
