Experimental study of longshore currents on a plane beach

Measurements are made of the characteristics of breaking waves and the resulting longshore currents for 34 combinations of wave height (up to 0.22 feet), period (0.90 to 1.50 seconds), and breaker angle (up to 320), along a 20 foot test section of a 30 foot plane, smooth concrete beach with a 0.104 slope. Techniques are developed to measure the...
