| Abstract | Shear stress induced by breaking wave is capable of moving loose bottom sediments lying shore wards of the breaker line. The work created by shear stress and fluid velocity is utilized for bed load movement and for suspending sediments by inherent lift force. An experimental investigation was conducted to study the effect
of the breaking and broken wave on the suspension of sediment and the resulting concentration at breaking point on a sloping beach. The result of the experiments reveals a trend of increase of sediment
concentration with the increase of deep water wave steepness, wave energy and energy flux. The height of the suspension was observed to depend on
the ripple wave length. The sediments were observed to move with quite appreciable thickness near to the breaking point and with a thickness of
almost entire depth within the breaker zone. |
