An Experimental Study on Progressive and Reverse Fluxes of Sediments with Fine Fractions in Wave Motion

The purpose of the study was to collect experimental data on the vertical structure of sediment fluxes during the wave crest and trough phase. The first stage of the experimental work included measurements of these fluxes using the particle image method, while in the second stage, measurements of se...

description The purpose of the study was to collect experimental data on the vertical structure of sediment fluxes during the wave crest and trough phase. The first stage of the experimental work included measurements of these fluxes using the particle image method, while in the second stage, measurements of sediment transport rates and granulometric distributions of sediments were collected in the traps on both sides of the initial area. The experimental data were compared with the results of a theoretical analysis based on a three-layer model of graded sediment transport. The comparison of the calculations with the measurements was conducted separately for fluxes of fine and very fine fractions in the diameter range d<sub>i</sub> < 0.20 mm, coarse, and total fractions all outgoing in the crest and trough phase from the initial area and deposited in adjacent control areas. As this model did not take into account both the effects of vertical mixing and the phase-lag effects related to the presence of fine and very fine fractions, a modification of this model was proposed that was based on four coefficients that corrected for fluxes. The consistency of the sediment transport calculations according to the modified model with measurements was achieved within plus/minus a factor of 2 of the measurements.
