ABSTRACT Yang, Z.T.; Li, H.J.; Liang, B.C.; Lee, D.Y.; Pan, X.Y., and Xu, Y., 2016. Laboratory experiment on the bed load sediment transport over rippled bed. In: Vila-Concejo, A.; Bruce, E.; Kennedy, D.M., and McCarroll, R.J. (eds.), Proceedings of the 14th International Coastal Symposium (Sydney, Australia). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue, No. 75, pp. 497–501. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Bed load sediment transport over rippled bedforms was investigated through a series of laboratory experiments with different combinations of bed slope, grain size, wave conditions and water level using a 2D wave flume. In addition to the measurement of surface waves and velocity, the water surface and bottom bed elevation were precisely monitored using video cameras to record the continuous processes of profile evolution, including ripple formation and migration under the assumption of longshore uniformity. The bed load sediment transport flux associated with ripple migration was then estimated....
