SandyDuck Perspective
Abstract
The objectives of the Sandy Duck experiment were to examine: small
and medium scale sediment transport and morphology (sediment grains
to 100 m scale); wave shoaling, wave breaking, and nearshore circulation;
and swash processes including sediment motion . The SandyDuck
experiment was conducted between July and November 1991. A short
term perspective (one month after the experiment) is presented as to
the success in meeting the experimental objectives, the weather conditions
provided by Mother Nature, trails and tribulations, and preliminary
analyses. An advantage of this experiment is that. it had
the benefit. of four other large scale experiments at. this same site, so
that during SandyDuck both analysis and model comparisons were performed
during the experiment.
