Influence of storm sequencing and beach recovery on sediment transport and beach resilience data set at CIEM large scale wave flume.

<p>The Influence of storm sequencing and beach recovery on sediment transport and beach resilience (RESIST) experiments project proposes to study experimentally sequences of storm induced erosion and beach recovery, with a particular focus on the poorly known morphodynamic processes under low energy conditions. Series of large scale experimental tests were done to collect data on the cross-shore hydrodynamics, sediment transport and beach evolution. The main aim of this proposal is to investigate the influence of sequences of beach erosion-recovery in the overall beach profile evolution.</p> <p>The tested wave conditions (2 erosive and 3 Accretive bichromatic conditions) were combined to form three sequences of changing high/mild energy conditions. Each condition started from an initial beach 1/15 handmade profile.</p> <p>The experiments were carried out in the large scale wave flume CIEM at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona within the program of Transnational Access of Hydralab+.</p> <p>Due to its size, the data set can not be placed on this repository and will be provided on demand.
