Numerical modelling of the sorting and transport of non-uniform sediments in the swash zone

The sorting and transport of different sediment fractions and the resulting beachface evolution over the swash zone of a beach, is numerically investigated within the framework of the shallow water theory and the active layer theory. The shallow water and Exner equations, along with the volume fra...
