Abstract
Two movable-bed physical model experiments of breach growth in a sandy barrier were conducted in a 3.3-m wide, 64-m long flume with a wave generator capable of generating 0.5 m waves. Breaching was initiated both without waves (Case BR1) and with waves (Case BR2) in separate tests by maintaining a head across the barrier. Breach channel deepening was controlled by the head difference across the barrier. Breach widening was found to occur primarily through episodic avalanching. The avalanched material was transported by the rapid flow both along the breach channel and transverse to the flow. In the presence of waves, breach widening was accelerated and dominated by swash processes. The numerical model of Kraus and Hayashi (2005) was... (More)
