Swash Zone Processes

9810691劳本海默该项目是为了对冲浪区过程进行分析和建模研究。具体地说，它将：1)开发描述波浪抬高、波浪设置、潮汐和海滩地下水位之间相互作用的模型；以及2)用在加利福尼亚州托里派恩斯海滩和北卡罗来纳州Duck附近收集的现有现场观测来验证这些模型。该研究将有助于加深对水流入渗影响的认识，并对今后的泥沙输移研究有所裨益。

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.
