An Equilibrium Grain Size Distribution Model for Beaches
Publication: Coastal Engineering 2000
Abstract
In this paper the existence of an equilibrium grain size distribution is examined by means of the analysis of the spatial and temporal variations of crossshore grain size distributions from several beaches along the Spanish coast. Over 3,000 sand samples from 31 beaches, covering a wide spectrum of wave climate conditions and grain sizes, are analyzed. A relationship between the wave climate and the standard deviation of the grain size distribution is proposed.
