Surge flushing

Surge flushing – Surge wave flow conditions

The flow conditions in a surge wave and their transport effect were researched by Brombach (figure). They are characterized by a distinctive secondary flow with a steady roll at the core of the wave, and heavy turbulences at the waves front and back.
