Water Interface Sediment Experiment (WISE) data set produced at the CIEM flume, Hydralab IV

The present work was developed in the framework of the HYDRALAB IV as part of the WISE Joint Research Activity. The experiments were carried out in the large scale wave flume CIEM at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona. The data set here presented aims to observe the simultaneous and collocated profiles, of water and sediment flow and the associated bed-dynamics and particle features. The experiments considered have a flume bed configuration which starts with a concrete flat part while the study area is a 1/15 constant sandy slope. The granular beach consisted of commercial well-sorted sand with a medium sediment size d50=0.25 mm. The water depth at the toe of the wave maker is 2.5 m for all tested conditions. Different waves conditions were tested Erosive (Hs=0.47 m and Tp=3.7s) and Accretive (Hs=0.32 m and Tp=4.7s; Hs=0.27 m and Tp=5.3s) while collecting data of velocity, suspended sediment concentration and profile evolution. Due to its size, the data set can not be placed on this repository and will be provided on demand. Please contact with the authors or with the data manager of the CIEM installation.
