Abstract
Detailed measurements of sediment concentrations in the sheet flow layer and in the suspension layer for flat bed conditions under prototype wave groups are presented. These measurements are part of experiments on near-bed sand transport processes, carried out in the Large Wave Flume in Hannover, Germany (SISTEX99). The results show that concentrations in the sheet flow layer are highly coherent with the instantaneous near-bed velocity. In the suspension layer, however, concentrations respond much slower to changes in near-bed velocity: at some distance from the bed concentrations increase and decrease on the time scale of the wave group, with a time delay relative to the peak wave within the wave group.
