Discussion of "Measurements of sheet flow transport in acceleration-skewed oscillatory flow and comparison with practical formulations" by DA van der A, T. O'Donoghue and JS Ribberink

Summary, in English

The authors present a very interesting data set on the acceleration effects on sheet flow transport and compare their experimental results with different transport practical formulas. However, they omit some previous work by Camenen and Larson (2007) that we would like to bring to the authors' attention. A more extensive discussion on some aspects of the acceleration effects is also lacking in their paper and, thus, additional material is provided here. (C) 2010 Elsevier BM. All rights reserved.
