Abstract

This report describes laboratory tests conducted at HR Wallingford on mud beds, under monofrequency waves and random waves. It describes the recent modifications to the wave flume which make the apparatus more effective. Laboratory tests conducted by University College of Swansea to investigate the structure of the bed under waves are also included. The report also describes the field measurement of the combined effect of tides and waves, following the development of field equipment for measurement of near-bed cohesive sediment processes.
