THE EFFECTS OF REGULAR AND IRREGULAR WAVES ON THE EVOLUTION OF A SUBMERGED BERM IN A LOW-ENERGY BEACH

Submerged berms, also referred to as shoreface nourishments, entail the artificial placement of sand on the nearshore with the purpose of dissipating incident waves and gradually nourishing the beach. The unique characteristics of submerged berms under low-energy conditions are examined in this research. By comparing field data and experimental results, the distinct behaviors of submerged berms under low-energy regular and irregular waves are investigated, leading to the formulation of new insights.
