even if they are lower than maximum velocities, join with suction (lift) forces
occurring in the toe of a breaking wave causing what may be called a "resonance

The relation to uprush and downrush velocities was noted by others (
Bibliography n° 29, 23). For this reason the terminology <□ resonance between
incident waves, and downrush waves » is introduced. These words correspond to
the case ...
Now, with the main valve off and the paddle wheel stationary they could climb
over the weir at the back of the little space and drop into the downrush pipe. “Just
follow me. The spirits of the dead will light our path.” “We hope,” Mathiel
murmured ...

Advances in Coastal Modeling
The multiplier C needs to have different values for uprush and downrush (
Hughes et al., 1997; Nielsen, 2002). Masselink and Hughes (1998) show that
sediment transport rates for a given U(t) are of the order twice as large during
uprush than ...

Also, it was observed that the forward lip of the plunging wave never impacted
the dry slope, but instead hit the downrush water from the previous wave.
Impacting the downrush water was likely related to the period and regularity of
the ...
One is where downrush velocities are maximum and therefore cause maximum
slope-parallel as well as slope-perpendicular forces. This is not when downrush
is in its lowest position, but happens before then. The other is when downrush ...

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
The intensity of the ground gusts that follow the downrush obviously varies a
great deal from day to day and between different parts of the world. Fawbush (
1954 I found a positive correlation between the intensity of the peak ground gusts
and ...

The characteristics of the flow on the surface layer of the breakwater slope during
wave downrush were determined using a mathematical model based on a
standing wave solution of the finite amplitude shallow water equations with an
implicit ...

Wave run-up consists of two components, an onshore current known as the
swash (uprush), which starts with a high velocity that declines onshore, and a
return gravity-driven flow known as the backwash (downrush), which accelerates
