Infiltration effects on cross-shore sedimnet transport

Theory is reviewed which relates infiltration into a permeable beach with the net onshore or offshore transport of sediment by wave action. This theory is tested experimentally by using sands of different permeability and by using underdrains in the beach and a pump to increase the infiltration c...
