Modelling of the vertical distribution of suspended sediment concentration under waves with a group structure

Results of the modelling of the vertical distribution of suspended sediment concentration under the influence of waves with a pronounced group structure are presented in this paper. The reliability of the model has been checked against laboratory data from the SISTEX' 99 experiment. Fluctuations of suspended sediment concentration, calculated by the model, correlate very well with the experimental data and reproduce the form, number and duration of concentration peaks rather well.
