Abstract
New experiments of sand transport under sheet flow conditions were recently carried out in the Large Oscillating Water Tunnel (LOWT) of WL|Delft Hydraulics. These experiments were aimed to study the effects of flow accelerations on sand transport under asymmetric oscillatory flows that are characteristic of the surf zone. The project comprised measurements of integral parameters such as net transport rates and time-averaged suspended sand concentrations, as well as detailed time-dependent measurements of the near bed flow and concentrations for selected test conditions. This work describes the overall experimental project and present first results of the measurements.
