Abstract

Longshore sediment transport presents an important problem at the shores along the Great Lakes. Direct field measurements were made on the parameters related to waves, beaches, longshore currents, and sediment transport. By using the field data from Lake Michigan, the longshore currents are found to be linearly related to the longshore momentum flux of incident waves at the breaker line, and also the longshore sediment immersed weight transport rate is found in terms of the longshore wave energy flux per unit length of beach.
