Resumen

In this paper a mathematical model for the computation of the cross shore sediment transport for random waves is presented. The model consists of the hydrodynamic, the suspended sediment transport and bed load modules. The suspended sediment concentration is computed with the use of the wave-averaged convection diffusion equation. The vertical structure of both the wave-induced current and suspended sediment concentration are modelled with the use of quasi-3d techniques. Mechanisms for the offshore transport (undertow) and the onshore transport (Lagrangian transport, transport due to wave asymmetry) are included. The model is tested against an experiment with random waves at prototype scale.
