Abstract: The alongshore sediment transport distributions are studied for 21 hydraulic model tests subjected to irregular waves. The distributions for bedload and suspended load were generally bimodal. The present study presents empirical expressions, based on dimensional analysis, for the magnitudes and locations of both bedload peaks and the offshore suspended load peak (The inshore suspended load peak was sometimes absent or difficult to define). A similar empirical relationship is also presented for the suspended/bedload ratio.
