Swash Zone Processes

[9810691 . Raubenheimer]这个项目是对冲积带过程进行分析和建模研究。具体来说，它将：1)开发描述波浪上升，波浪设置，潮汐和海滩地下水位之间相互作用的模型；2)利用在加利福尼亚州Torrey Pines海滩和北卡罗来纳州Duck附近收集的现有野外观测资料验证这些模型。该研究将加深对冲积带流体运动的入渗效应的认识，对冲积带输沙的进一步研究具有重要意义。

9810691 Raubenheimer The project is for an analysis and modeling study of swash zone processes. Specifically, it will: 1) develop models describing interactions between wave runup, wave setup, tides, and the beach watertable; and 2) validate these models with existing field observations collected near Torrey Pines Beach, CA and Duck, NC. The study will improve understanding of the infiltration effect on swash zone fluid motion and benefits future studies of swash zone sediment transport.
