WHAT DOES SWASH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

swash

Swash

Swash, in geography, is known as a turbulent layer of water that washes up on the beach after an incoming wave has broken. The swash action can move beach materials up and down the beach, which results in the cross-shore sediment exchange. The time-scale of swash motion varies from seconds to minutes depending on the type of beach. Greater swash generally occurs on flatter beaches. The swash motion plays the primary role in the formation of morphological features and their changes in the swash zone. The swash action also plays an important role as one of the instantaneous processes in wider coastal morphodynamics. Figure 1. Beach classification by Wright and Short showing dissipative, intermediate, and reflective beaches. There are two approaches that describe swash motions: swash resulting from the collapse of high-frequency bores on the beachface; and swash characterised by standing, low-frequency motions.
