Phase1: Bed shear stress measurements at 3m offshore of still water line, with water depth 2.1m, with generation of various long waves offshore

This experiment is part of a series of experiments that investigates the role of the bed shear stress and near-bed flow to understand how offshore wave characteristics may correlate with onshore sediment transport. A new design of instrument for direct measurement of the bed shear stress has been developed and is here deployed here in the submerged region below but very close to the still water line. The leading tsunami waveform is modelled as several different types of long waves including the solitary wave, a solitary bore, and leading depression N-waves. Varying wave amplitudes of these waves are tested.
NB: Location 3 is the most offshore location on the test platform. The test platform is installed between bays 15 and 16. Trials 1-10 - Bores. Trials 11-18 - Solitary Wave. Trials 19-22 - Double Solitary Waves. Trials 23-30 - LDN Waves.
