Physical modeling of three-dimensional intermediate beach morphodynamics

Experiments have been performed in a large wave tank in order to study the morphodynamics of rip current systems. Both accretive and erosive shore‐normal wave conditions were applied, the beach evolving through all the states within the intermediate beach classification, under the so‐called down‐sta...
