A Field Investigation of the Spatial and Temporal Structure of Longshore Currents
This field investigation was conducted to obtain simultaneous and continuous measurements of the horizontal, vertical and temporal variability of the longshore current flow field. The present study has resulted in a two-dimensional mapping, across the surf zone and with depth, of the longshore current field. The vertical structure of the mean longshore current flow field is nearly uniform with depth, with a narrow bottom boundary layer and sharp velocity gradients at the water-sediment interface. This investigation has also shown that the total longshore current velocity vector, at any point across the surf zone, is composed of three distinct velocity components. These components are: (1) a ...
