A wave-induced transport process in marine sediments.
Shows how surface wave action can increase the rate of transport of solutes into a sandy seabed by orders of magnitude via a mechanism known as mechanical dispersion. It is most effective for large sediment permeability and thickness, high surface wave amplitude, and shallow water. A method for sett...
