Abstract
A formula for net sediment flux in the swash zone is obtained based on data from wave-tank experiments. The net sediment flux, ( >0: onshore and D is the mean size of the sediment, w is the fall velocity of the sediment, us is the near-bottom orbital velocity in the swash zone, T is the wave period, v is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, g is the gravitational acceleration, and A=1.1 × 10-2 and K=2.55 × 10-3 are the empirical coefficients.Keywords
