On permeable beaches, tides and waves lead to an upper saline plume underneath the beach face in addition to the saltwater wedge. The transport and fate of land-derived chemicals depend on process dynamics at the land-sea interface, which can be examined u ...

Influence of beach grain size and bed slope on nearshore hydro- and morpho-dynamics

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

Two major parameters that determine the beach type are sediment grain size and beach slope. Intermediate beaches normally have steep slopes and are associated with coarse-grained sands and narrow surf zones, while dissipative beaches generally have mild sl ...

Improving the integration of dams in the natural environment and recovering their storage capacity lost to sedimentation are two topics of growing concern. To address these two issues, the accumulated sediments are being relocated down into the dam's tail ...

Coastal groundwater systems can have a considerable impact on sediment transport and foreshore evolution in the surf and swash zones. Process-based modeling of wave motion on a permeable beach taking into account wave-aquifer interactions was conducted to ...

Numerical experiments of breaking waves on dissipative and intermediate beaches using a two-phase flow method

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

A fully coupled two-phase flow model was developed to simulate nearshore fluid-sediment turbulent flow. It includes the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and turbu¬lent stress closures for each phase, and accounts for inter-granular stresses. It wa ...

Impacts of 3D wave and tidal forcing on nearshore hydrodynamics

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

Numerical investigations covering all the physical processes occurring in the surf and swash zones, including the cross-shore and longshore flows, have not been fully developed, although considerable work in 2D has appeared in recent years. However, given ...

Cross-shore sediment transport estimation using fuzzy inference system in the swash zone

Roham Bakhtyar

The interactions between fluid and sediment in the swash zone dominate the erosion or accretion of the beach, and they act as boundary conditions for nearshore hydrodynamic and morphodynamic models. Thus, the evaluation of sediment transport is of particul ...

Effects of wave characteristics and beach groundwater table on the nearshore morphology and aquifer dynamics

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Roham Bakhtyar

A Navier-Stokes hydrodynamic model with a VOF method and a turbulence closure solver was used to simulate wave motion on permeable beaches. Coastal aquifer dynamics, the interactions between the groundwater and the seawater, and the effects of wave motions ...

Mechanisms of vegetation uprooting by flow in alluvial non-cohesive sediment

Paolo Perona, Katharina Maria Edmaier

The establishment of riparian pioneer vegetation is of crucial importance within river restoration projects. After germination or vegetative reproduction on river bars juvenile plants are often exposed to mortality by uprooting caused by floods. At later s ...

Numerical simulation of two-phase flow for sediment transport in the inner-surf and swash zones

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

A two-dimensional two-phase flow framework for fluid- sediment flow simulation in the surf and swash zones was described. Propagation, breaking, uprush and backwash of waves on sloping beaches were studied numerically with an emphasis on fluid hydrodynamic ...
