Abstract
Heathershaw, A.D., 1981. Comparisons of measured and predicted sediment transport rates in tidal currents. Mar. Geol., 42: 75-104. This paper describes bedload transport measurements in a large-scale sedimentary system on the British continental shelf. Steady-flow sediment transport theories are applied to oscillatory tidal currents, and various equations are compared with measured transport rates from tracer dispersion experiments. The effects of waves on both measured and predicted rates are briefly considered and the predicted directions of sediment movement compared with those inferred from sedimentological data.
