Through a field observation and flume experiments, we elucidated the effect of mud content on the transport processes of sand-mud mixtures under the combined wave and current conditions. We also simulated the transport processes of sand-mud mixtures and discussed reproducibility of the simulated results by comparison with the experimental and field results.
