Determination of Wave Angle in Shallow Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Information from a bidirectional electromagnetic current meter and surface‐piercing, continuous resistance wave staff is shown to provide good estimates of the angle of wave approach within the surf zone. Spectra of surface ...
Estimating Boat-Wake-Induced Levee Erosion using Sediment Suspension Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The subaqueous portion of a levee bank in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta of central California was instrumented to quantify the impact of boat-generated waves. Typical erosion rates associated with recreational ...
Longshore Sediment Transport Rates on a Microtidal Estuarine Beach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Longshore sediment transport rates were estimated on a microtidal estuarine beach in Great South Bay, N.Y., during two dyed sand tracer experiments using a temporal sampling method. Mean onshore wind speeds of 5.8 and 9.9 ...
