Abstract: Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of wind waves on ponding level, surf beat, transmitted wave characteristics, and beach runup of an idealized reef‐lagoon system. Independent variables ...

Abstract: Improved understanding of beach erosion and accretion has been attained by reanalyzing large-scale, two-dimensional monochromatic laboratory data, using the data to develop an empirical beach volume change model, and ...

Abstract: Characteristics of groups of high ocean waves are studied in varying water depths using field measurements and laboratory simulations. Field data were collected from a shore‐perpendicular line of gages at the Coastal ...

Abstract: This note describes a simplified method for estimating the flow rate and flow velocity through the gaps of permeable offshore segmented breakwaters caused by wave overtopping. The method incorporates previous two-dimensional ...
