A MOVEMENT DISCRIMINATION OF SURFACE SEDIMENT NEAR BEACH OF THE LIANYUNGANG AREA
Abstract:
This paper discusses mean grain size character of surface sediments near beach of the Lianyungang. Better relationships between mean grain size and maximum bottom shearing force of wave and current is found using a multivariate statistical analysis. As a result, sediment movement can be discriminated. Which is of practical significance for predicting beach erosion and deposit variations.
