success of this procedure is evaluated. Chapter 10 describes two initial movable-
bed experiments, which were designed to learn how to effectively conduct
movable-bed experiments in the LSTF. The experiments also were designed and
executed to address several research objectives, namely identifying the role of
breaker type and beach morphology on LST processes. Differences in LST
processes for spilling- and plunging-breakers were examined and results from the
experiments are presented. Conclusions are made in Chapter 11, and the success
of performing LST experiments in the LSTF is evaluated. Hydrodynamic data
from fixed-bed experiments are presented in Appendix A, and photographs of the
LSTF are given in Appendix B.
