Abstract
The objective of this study is to gain insights of the swash flows generated by a train of solitary waves on a planar beach and the corresponding turbulence structure. Two dimensional velocity measurements are made using a 1000-Hz high speed particle image velocimetry (HSPIV). The turbulence characteristics in terms of the temporal and spatial evolution of the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), TKE spatial spectra, and turbulence length scales are examined.References
