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

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.

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.

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+.

Due to its size, the data set can not be placed on this repository and will be provided on demand. Please contact with the authors or with the data manager of the CIEM installation.
