Open publisher page 26 citations

Abstract

The effect of bed roughness and sediment load on energy dissipation under wave action has been analysed with the aid of unidirectional flow relationships and laboratory data. An expression is proposed for estimation of the equivalent roughness height. The paper also raises questions which need further study.
