title = "Effects of waves on subsurface flow and solute transport in a laboratory beach",
abstract = "Oceanic forcing is an essential factor affecting groundwater flow and solute fate in coastal aquifers. A numerical study was conducted to investigate the fate of solute in a laboratory beach in response to high and low frequency oceanic forcing, i.e., waves and tides, respectively. A new temporal upscaling approach labeled {"}net inflow{"} was introduced to address the impact of waves on solute transport within beaches. The approach revealed that the infiltration into the beach is directly proportional to the general hydraulic gradient in the beach. The numerical simulations using a computational fluid dynamic model were used as boundary conditions for the two-dimensional variably saturated flow and solute numerical model MARUN. The modeling approach was validated against experimental data of water level and tracer concentration at numerous locations of 6.0 m laboratory beach.",
