This project investigated the effects of wave sequencing on wave runup on a dissipative beach. Multiple bichromatic waves conditions varying in carrier wave height, carrier wave period, and group wave period were tested on a 1:36 sloped flume. Water surface elevations at offshore and nearshore regions were collected. In addition, video footage of the nearshore region were captured. The data in this project can be reused for various analysis of bichromatic waves and/or wave runup on dissipative beach. The project is unique in that each scenario contains a wide range of wave sequencing within each wave group, and that the component wave frequencies were chosen so that the infragravity waves can be precisely isolated. This project's ideal audience are researchers interested in nearshore hydrodynamics leading to wave runup.

Description:
We generated bichromatic waves of varying wave heights, carrier wave periods, and group wave periods on a mostly 1:36 sloped bottom, and measured water surface elevations at offshore and nearshore locations. In addition to the majority bichromatic scenarios, we also tested a few random waves scenarios. Video footages were also taken at the nearshore to facilitate extraction of wave runup time series. 'Preliminary tests' denote the first phase of the experiment, during which we tested the feasibility of creating bore-merging events, which were a focus of this study. The 'final scenarios' consist of measurements used in the data analysis associated with the manuscript.

Sensor Information | Part I: Preliminary tests
Description:
This category contains information on sensor layout and software used to generate waves. It includes instrument locations, wiring details, and software (sw, i.e. Matlab scripts that are used to generate input files for the wavemaker).
This category contains data in both raw measurements as collected by the sensors (raw) and processed measurements in commonly used units (inter). In addition, there are logs (both electronic and scanned) for the test scenarios and raw input files for the wavemaker. Please note that even though the .log files cannot be previewed, they can be downloaded and viewed as normal text files.
