Lagrangian Measurements of Orbital Velocities in the Surf Zone

Abstract: Mass transport induced by wave motion is a major factor in the formation of circulation patterns in the nearshore zone which in turn affect beach erosion and resedimentation (Inman & Brush, 1973;Masselink et al., 2014). It is generally thought that the main cause of nearshore circulation are energetic breaking waves which can lead to significant nearshore wave set-up (increased mean-water level) and in connection with bathymetric features lead to undertow, edge waves, and rip currents (

“…The present experiments were performed in a pure cross-shore setting (narrow wave flume), and all particles were beached. In the field experiments of Bjørnestad et al (2021) many oranges were released, though only the results for a single orange were presented. These oranges generally did not beach, but rather followed longshore circulation currents near the shoreline (personal communication with Prof. Henrik Kalisch).…”

“…Finally, Fig. 15 shows measured vs. predicted u p for both the present experiments, the non-breaking experiments of Alsina et al (2020) and the field measurements of Bjørnestad et al (2021). In the field measurements of Bjørnestad et al (2021), an orange rather than microplastics, was used.…”
