Abstract
ABSTRACT Yoo, J.; Shin, S.; Do, K.D.; Shim, J.S.; Ha, T., and Jun, K.C., 2014. Laboratory investigations on effects of water level change on surf-zone processes. Tidal level and current often influence the rip current and the morphological changes in the macro-tidal beaches. Effects of water level change on surf zone processes were investigated through laboratory experiments conducted in a two dimensional wave flume. A movable beach was installed using a find sand in the flume starting with 1/50 slope from the offshore and ending with 1/20 slope near the shore. Irregular waves were generated by a piston type wave maker with active absorption. In the meantime, water level was changed gradually by using a pump and drain system to consider waves and tide simultaneously. Herein, three different tidal phases (i.e. flood tide, full tide and ebb tide) were conditioned with a gradual depth change of about 10 ~ 15 cm in the offshore during a period of about 30 minutes per phase except the full tide, while only one...
